Kevin Gant
Through the magic of podcasting, See It Loud returns to Los Angeles to talk to acclaimed feature filmmaker Jay Duplass (Baghead, Cyrus) about his new music documentary, Kevin, which screens this week at LA’s Don’t Knock the Rock film fest.
For his first nonfiction film, Duplass tracked down the musical hero of his Austin film-school days – a troubadour named Kevin Gant who won a fierce following for his cosmic, flamenco-influenced folk songs until abruptly quitting music and vanishing from the local scene in 1995. Fifteen years later, Duplass finds out what happened to Kevin, and helps him rediscover his muse.
Then it’s a conversation with the mother/daughter team behind Don’t Knock the Rock, indie film OG Allison Anders and musician Tiffany Anders, on their weakness for tales of lost rockers, making music for product placement, and Allison’s upcoming film, the Britpop-inspired romance Strutter.
This podcast features a little taste of Kevin Gant’s music (thanks Jay) and no explicit language, for a change. The See It Loud opening theme by Los Musicos de Jose comes from Mevio’s Music Alley.
