On Thursday night Keller Williams played his latest “Shut The Folk Up & Listen” show with Leo Kottke in Cincinnati. Williams crossed the river into Covington, Kentucky after his performance to guest with Yonder Mountain String Band at the Madison Theater.

Keller emerged to aid Yonder on their cover of Norweigan duo Röyksopp’s 2002 single “Remind Me.” Williams added beatboxed vocals and “mouth trumpet” to the cover which was led by YMSB bassist Ben Kaufmann. Watch a clip of the guest spot:
