E069 - Everybody Plays a Role with Ben Travers

Touchdowns All Day with Jon Barber & Max Dawson

TOUCHDOWNS ALL DAY w/ JON BARBER & MAX DAWSON.

E069 - Everybody Plays a Role w/Ben Travers - The Disco Biscuits are more than just the four guys on stage. "Everybody Plays a Role" is Touchdowns All Day's ongoing series showcasing the contributions of the men and women who work tirelessly behind the scenes to create the live Disco Biscuits experience. Joining us this week is bass and keyboard tech Ben Travers. Ben joined the crew in January 2024, and since then he's worked closely with Aron and Marc to shape the Biscuits' current sound. He updates us on the state of Aron's ever-evolving keyboard array and sheds light on some of the newest enhancement to Marc's bass rig and Moog setup. From washing dishes at a local club to supporting major international touring artists on stage and off, Ben has held down nearly every job in the live music business, and he brings a unique perspective and skill set to what Marc has been describing as the best crew in the Biscuits' history.
