TOUCHDOWNS ALL DAY w/ JON BARBER & MAX DAWSON.

E094 - A Bassist for a Day, A Friend for Life - Kevin Abrams is a filmmaker and author whose first novel, Mt. Forgotten, hits bookstores this May. He's also one of Barber's oldest and closest friends. In this episode, Kevin and Barber reminisce on more than thirty years of friendship and collaboration. Astute Biscuits fans will recognize Kevin's name from the songwriting credits for Basis for a Day. In addition to co-writing The Disco Biscuits' signature song, Kevin was present at the birth of the band, and played an important role in introducing Barber, Marc, Aron, and Sam to one another. Kevin and Barber recount their days at UPenn and the musical influences they absorbed in the clubs of Philly and in the halls of their fraternity, Zeta Psi. In the process, he and Barber delve deep into their respective creative processes and acknowledge the ways in which they continue to influence and inspire one another.
