WILLIAMS RELEASES REX (LIVE AT THE FILLMORE):
A GRATEFUL GRASS PERFORMANCE FEATURING WILLIAMS, KEITH MOSELEY, AND JEFF AUSTIN
THE DIGITAL ONLY RELEASE WILL BENEFIT THE REX FOUNDATION
Guitarist/singer/songwriter Keller Williams offers up a live, digital-only release titled REX (Live at the Fillmore). The recording captures a very special live performance by Grateful Grass – a project featuring Williams, Keith Moseley (The String Cheese Incident), and Jeff Austin (Yonder Mountain String Band) – performing not-so-traditional bluegrass versions of Grateful Dead favorites. The collection, recorded February 8, 2006 at Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium, is available now at itunes and other digital retail outlets. 100% of the proceeds from REX (Live at the Fillmore) will go to benefit the Rex Foundation, the charitable non-profit started by the Grateful Dead which gives grants to worthwhile causes.
