Lead, Rhythmn Guitar
John Epstein has been playing guitar since the age of 12. Influenced by his classical training in piano and his love of rock and metal music, he has always strived to create hard driving music with a melodic hook. From Mozart to Metallica, you can hear the blend of sensibilities in his music. Under the wings of Pete Scartabello (now a composer, teacher, and film scorer), the two collaborated throughout high school and Dr. Epstein played in many other bands as well during that time.
Despite a hiatus from the instrument during medical school and his early career, Dr. Epstein came roaring back as a guest onstage with Diane Lutz (Freyah) and his 8 year old daughter Madeline (Jupiter) on bass, playing a song onstage at the Canal Room in NYC in a benefit concert, “Sing for Sight”. He was ultimately scouted for Project One after being seen playing guitar at a performance with his talented, multi-instrumental kids, Justin and Madeline. He is an ophthalmic surgeon by day, and is an avid car and photography enthusiast as well.
