WH0 IS ABRAM TABER?

At the tender age of 3, Abram Taber ripped open a cardboard box with a plastic toy screwdriver to get at the ukulele within.  Throughout the next 37 years of his life, Abram has worked towards that same goal: unleashing sounds with whatever tools are available.

Abram has searched for sounds as a solo artist, playing in basements, bedrooms, and bars across the US since 2009. Hailing from Massachusetts and currently living in Philadelphia, Abram visited DIY scenes across the country over four US tours between 2009 and 2016, making stops in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, Midwest, and Southwest.

As a member of the music collective Agitation Trips, Abram makes use of everything from upright bass to a RS-09 synthesizer to help produce a monthly song for charity. In March 2023, Abram joined the psychedelic improvisational duo Quiet Abandon as a bassist and sonic sculptor. While playing in the bands Sun Hat, Pyotr, A bit Much, School for Robots, Slurred Murrays, and Paraffin Section, Abram composed music, crafted song arrangements, produced recordings, and developed artwork, costumes and stage shows. He has also worked as an on-call bassist for studio and live performances with artists such as Downcity Armory, EXH4LER, Hornography, and The Good Mem’ries Big Band and has performed in pit orchestras for productions of Footloose, Little Shop of Horrors, and All Shook Up.
