GEPH

Geph biography
Founded in Boston,USA in 2014

GEPH is a Boston-based instrumental progressive jazz metal trio riding the cutting edge of contemporary music. With Josh Goldberg and John Tyler Kent on Chapman Stick, and Josh Merhar on drums, the trio sounds as big as a five-piece. Together they work to expand the modern conceptions of arranging and composing in a heavy, intense and still succinctly musical format.

Forming in September of 2014 and immediately getting to work, GEPH released Splinter as their debut single in January of 2015, and that summer played all over the American Northeast, from the border of Canada all the way down to farm country in New Jersey. They released their debut album in March of 2016 and again hit the road in the summer, expanding to the Northeast festival circuit.

In the fall GEPH began writing music for their next album, and in early 2017 they released a new single, Whole Body Headbang, and launched an IndieGoGo campaign where they managed to raise close to $10,000 in order to record their second album, Apophenia, in a reputable and high level studio in Boston.

In 2018 they played the ProgDay festival to an appreciative crowd.
