Eppiphane began as a four piece act that performed periodically around the city of Ottawa. Fusing jazzy progressions with pop-rock hooks, the band’s schedule began to fill up, and their supportive fan base began to grow.
In 2004 the band released You Won’t Be Judged, a four track teaser album which was recorded with Peter Gilroy (Pebble Studios). With more exposure and experience, the band’s reputation grew, and they began touring, as well as participating in many festivals, including Ottawa Bluesfest ‘05.
June 2, 2006, the band played their official album release party to a sold out crowd at the New Capital Music Hall.
By this time, the band had become a five piece ensemble. Their debut album This Plastic World, produced by Jason Fee from Sound of One Hand Studios, caught on quickly, receiving a great amount of air play.
They began a year of extensive touring and promoting in September of 2006, playing throughout Ontario and saying a few ‘hellos’ to Quebec. The band was excited to be reaching out further and further.
Eppiphane was just settling down from the first leg on the tour when on November 4th of that year, they lost their beloved Craig Cameron, guitarist / keyboard player and friend to cancer. They held a tribute show at ‘The Capital Music Hall’ for Craig and once again, the tickets sold out. Proceeds from the show were donated to a charity fund in Craig’s memory.
After a year and a half of personal down time, Adam Kavanagh and Alex Mastronardi have begun reforming the band. Since May 2008, Adam asked Andre Doucette (rhythm/lead guitar/vocals), Tom Svilans (Keys), and Ryan Macintyre (Drums) to join the band. Over the summer they enjoyed showcasing their newly written material at Bluesfest and Canada Day in Kanata. At the end of the summer, Eppiphane again went through some member changes. Tom and Ryan were replaced with Eric Disero (keys), and Dylan Roberts (Drums). Currently the band is writting, rehearsing, and playing shows!
