Dave Keuning

Dave Keuning is the kind of musician I instinctively root for: the architect behind the sound rather than the face out front. Co-founding the Killers with Brandon Flowers in 2001, his shimmering, melancholy guitar work defined the band's early identity as much as anything. Across six albums and every show until Lollapalooza 2017, he was the structural backbone holding the songs together. Coming from tiny Pella, Iowa, to shaping one of rock's most recognizable sounds is no small leap. I have deep respect for players who stay out of the spotlight yet remain utterly indispensable. Keuning is exactly that.
