ZUMIX Summer Concerts: Eph See
2025-07-27 18:00 - 20:00 | Piers Park, Marginal Street, EAST BOSTON, MA, 02128, United States
Join us for a ZUMIX Summer Concert featuring local genre-bending artist Eph See!
The show will happen rain or shine – if it rains, we will move to the ZUMIX Firehouse!
When it comes to making music independently, Boston-born artist Eph See truly shines. Unsigned and unmanaged, Eph See has built their musical career from the ground up by releasing singles and long-form projects through self-led campaigns and the help of their creative community of friends. Their debut EP, g*rlhood, released in October 2021, landed them features in Lyrical Lemonade and The Fader, all without the budget or marketing of a label.
They are known to float from genre to genre, oftentimes mixing multiple genres together to create something entirely new. The only rule they have when songwriting? Be potently honest.
Eph See’s latest project, a mixtape titled “xoxo, eph”, was received with love and recognized by WBUR and dreamworldgirlzine for its honesty, storytelling, and composition. Their current work keeps raising the bar, receiving critical acclaim from the Senior Producer of NPR’s Tiny Desk, Robin Hilton, on Top Shelf 2025 and All Songs Considered – and making them pack rooms in NYC & Boston on their first tour with Deadbeat Girl, Miki Rastula, and Um, Jennifer?
