Episode 167 - Kemp Harris

Above The Basement - Boston Music and Conversation

It has been an insane few weeks, which is an understatement to say the least since that could apply to the entirety of 2020 if not the last four years. We don’t mean to lay our politics out there, but whatever your beliefs, 2020 can’t end soon enough.

Luckily, we were able to talk to the multi-talented Kemp Harris to bring a little light into this terrible year. Kemp is a quintuple threat – actor, songwriter, composer, singer, storyteller – and we are probably missing a few other talents in there.

Kemp was a teacher in Boston for 40 years and has gone on to be a powerful presence on the stage, from your local coffeeshop to the Boch Center stage, his open armed and vulnerable approach to his work make for must watch and must listen performances.

Kemp and Chuck sat in an empty restaurant to talk about current events, storytelling, teaching, living and performing your beliefs rather than poking the bear.

That will make more sense when you listen.

As we were told by our friend Ralph Jaccodine, Kemp is the real deal.
