About BOBBY KELLER:
WTF – Welcome To Florida… Since 2019 “Florida Fret Burner” BOBBY KELLER has released three instrumental tracks “Reign in Fire”, “Light Bearer”, and most recently “Perpetual Dreams” – all part of his highly anticipated solo album, Reign in Fire. These ferocious musical offerings received recognition and also critical acclaim from Guitar World Magazine, Loudwire, Brave Words, and countless other major international media outlets. BOBBY KELLER’s solo project began when Ben Johnson, (a talented producer, drummer and recording engineer currently working under Grammy winning producer Will Putney – Fit For An Autopsy/Thy Art is Murder, at Graphic Nature Audio in Belleville, New Jersey), began collaborating and producing and writing songs together. BOBBY KELLER and Ben Johnson’s take on instrumental guitar music is without a doubt a one-of-a-kind experience, and will hopefully be something that inspires other musicians and propels the genre even farther into the future.
Raised as a native of Orlando, Florida, BOBBY KELLER has been setting the music scene ablaze with his unique style of guitar playing since 2009, and is considered one of the top guitar players from the United States. Inspired by guitarists such as Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani and Dimebag Darrell, BOBBY KELLER’s playing is rooted in blues and combines his knowledge of classic heavy metal, incredible speed and euphonic rhythms into his technique to create a truly individual sound. BK takes us on an aural heavy metal guitar journey.
BOBBY KELLER has toured internationally alongside Avatar, Evanescence, Hellyeah, Mastodon, Gojira, Nonpoint, and Jonathan Davis (Korn). In 2016, BOBBY KELLER starred in the Theater Works Production of Rock of Ages as the lead guitar player for the “house band” of the Bourbon Room in Hollywood, California.

His phrasing, articulation,energy, tone and stage presence is a pure pleasure on one’s auditory and visual pallet. It’s hard to believe he’s only been playing guitar since 2009.

“If you’re on the hunt for a healthy dose of high-octane riffage, fretboard-melting soloing and dizzying technical prowess, you can call off the search party, because Bobby Keller has you covered.”
…With a shred-heavy sonic arrangement, complemented by a serenely picturesque music video that sees him rip through his single while waltzing through the wilderness, Keller’s latest track Perpetual Dreams delivers all of the above, and then some.
No stranger to mind-boggling guitar instrumentals – see Reign In Fire and Light Bearer – the Orlando native’s latest lead-heavy escapade certainly ups the ante, eloquently combining blinding two-hand tapping sequences, oh-so melodic single-string slides and tasty bend-infused passages. Not one to be missed. (MO) – Guitar World Magazine
“Early 2020 saw the announcement of Bobby Keller’s new solo project (in collaboration with drummer and engineer Ben Johnson), and with it came his
first single Reign in Fire, a furious and sonically diverse instrumental piece that puts his virtuosic abilities on full display.”
…Having shouldered lead guitar duties with Florida metallers Meka Nism since 2010 – performing alongside Evanescence, Gojira, Hellyeah and more in the process – it’s clear to see how Keller has honed his razor-sharp chops. If you’re keen to see said chops in action, today’s your lucky day, as he’s filmed a red-hot playthrough of Reign in Fire exclusively for Guitar World. From ethereal clean lines to monstrous down-tuned riffs and face-melting solo sections, Keller blazes through the track with brutal efficiency.” – Guitar World Magazine
“Already known for a successful career as lead guitarist for the metal band Meka Nism, Bobby Keller has toured with massive names from Evanescence to Hellyeah to Gojira. Now, he tosses his hat into the solo career ring with Reign of Fire, a blazing instrumental piece which clearly draws inspiration from guitar’s best-known virtuosos…Needless to say, the track takes you on a pretty rapid journey. From the outset, orchestral atmospheric ambience is followed by fierce drop-tuned riffs and staggering leads. Sprinkled with tapping passages and monstrous breakdown riffs, this is one of the most exciting instrumental guitar tracks we’ve heard in a while.” (SR) – Guitar World Magazine
“The world of guitar always needs new heroes. In case you’re looking for one, you’re lucky to be here, as Bobby Keller has just released his second single and a video, titled “Light Bearer.” According to the official press release, this progressive metal instrumental piece “takes you on a non-stop, in-your-face guitar assault with intricate and technical rhythm guitar playing infused with infectious leads surrounded by clever harmonic chaos.” – Ultimate Guitar
