October 8, 2025 – Jim Keller wants everyone to “Love One Another” with his latest single, the final advance look at his solo album End Of The World, out October 24. Like much of the record, the track glows as a multi-layered affair written with economical precision: on the surface, it’s cutting and jaded, but deep down, it’s a genuine plea for that ever-elusive peace, love, and understanding.
Keller’s respect for pop architecture is plain to hear on the soulful track, exhibiting his exceptional “knack for making seemingly simple lines sink a little deeper” (American Songwriter). While crafting “Love One Another,” the musician worked with renowned co-writers Byron Isaacs (Lumineers, Levon Helm) and Adam Minkoff (Graham Nash, Doyle Bramhall II), along with Tony Mason on the drums (Norah Jones, John Scofield).

End Of The World is a collection of lean, sardonic, and deeply human songs that reflect on what it means to stay hopeful when the world seems to be coming apart at the seams. In August, Keller set the tone with “Got No Time For That” — a soul-fired anthem that channels frustration, absurdity, and dark humor into an infectious tune. Listen to “Got No Time For That” here. September brought along Keller’s second killer single “Black Dog,” a modern spin on pub rock capturing the heavy weight of depression. Listen to “Black Dog” here.
The record is the latest chapter in a prolific run that confirms the former Tommy Tutone co-founder is in the throes of a creative renaissance, and it features some of the strongest, leanest writing of his career. A master of melody and economy, Keller co-wrote the 1981 chart-topping hit “867-5309/Jenny” before stepping away from the spotlight to manage composer Philip Glass and run his own company, St. Rose Music, representing the likes of Tom Waits and Ravi Shankar. At 50, he returned to his first love — songwriting — and has since released a string of critically acclaimed albums (End of the World is his seventh since 2010). He's also built a vibrant musical community through his long-running NYC jam sessions.
Keller is hitting the road as 2025 comes to a close, with performances in Nashville, Austin, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, San Francisco, and more. Please see below for all announced dates (with additional dates TBA), and visit https://www.jimkellermusic.com/ for tickets and more information.

About Jim Keller
Born and raised on the East Coast, Jim Keller found fame after moving to San Francisco, where he launched Tommy Tutone in the late 1970s. Despite their meteoric rise, the band was short-lived, and Keller soon found himself in the proverbial wilderness, struggling to make ends meet until he talked his way into a job with famed composer Philip Glass. For the next 25 years, Keller would go on to run Glass’s publishing company, eventually managing his career outright in addition to working with luminaries like Tom Waits, Ravi Shankar, and Rufus Wainwright.
In 2009, Keller returned to performing and recording with Sunshine In My Pocket, the first in a series of critically acclaimed solo records that would garner profiles everywhere from NPR to The New Yorker.
