Over the past few years, Dave has played three to five solo shows annually—mostly in the Midwest—and this spring’s run included Chicago’s new “Garcias” venue, Ann Arbor’s folkie listening room The Ark, and Holland’s Park Theatre before he pointed his wheels north to Kaleva. Known primarily for festival appearances alongside Greensky, Kellen is rarely seen solo, making his stripped‑down acoustic rendition of crowd favorite “The Meaning” particularly poignant—many in the audience were moved to tears, and his performance set the perfect tone for the night. When Dave took the stage, he began alone—on electric guitar rather than the acoustic he plays with Greensky—and ran through band workhorses like “Like Reflections,” “200 Miles from Montana,” “Cold Feet,” and “Wings for Wheels.”
