Joey Eppard is a music writer, recording artist, and the lead vocalist and guitarist for the experimental/progressive rock band, 3. He is also the brother of Josh Eppard, the drummer for Coheed and Cambria and former drummer of 3.
In addition to his work with 3, Joey Eppard has worked with many other musicians and bands, including Parliament-Funkadelic and Bad Brains. He also serves as a guitarist and vocalist for the psychedelic/funk band DRUGS: The Mis-Americans (in which Garry Shider and several other P-Funk members are also involved). During his career, he has performed throughout the United States and Europe, both in bands, and as a solo artist. His work also appears on the album You, My Baby & I by European artist Alex Gopher, more specifically on the track Time, which has appeared in an advertisement for Miller.
In December 2002, Joey Eppard released a solo album, Been to the Future. It includes both original acoustic songs, and solo versions of tracks that appear on other albums by 3, such as Paint by Number and Half Life. Another solo album, Joey RX, is available for international licensing, but not for sale in the United States. He has also released a song called I Can't on Purevolume, as well as three more called Word to the Wise, Shadow Play, and Dead on Myspace. Another solo album containing these songs has not yet been announced, but an alternate version of "Shadow Play" was later included in 3's fifth album, The End is Begun.
