A certain generation might know Thomas Ian Nicholas as the lovable Kevin from “American Pie,” but the 43-year-old is also a songwriter with a band that has a slew of U.K. dates confirmed for later this month. Last night in Ybor City, Nicholas brought the band to Crowbar to play Emo Social, a party he throws alongside Florida-native Chris Kamrada, who spent the afternoon playing drums for Dashboard Confessional at Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre. And yes, he played “Stifler’s Mom” in the setlist.
