Based in Wakefield, Massachusetts, Anthony Freddura serves Epsilon as the firm's product owner and lead business systems analyst. With a lifelong passion for music, Anthony Freddura plays the guitar and enjoys a wide range of sounds and styles.
One of the emergent guitar-driven bands of recent years is Greta Van Fleet, which formed in Michigan in 2012 and has earned comparisons to Led Zeppelin. Interviewed recently in Rolling Stone, lead singer Josh Kiszka described the songs on the debut album “Anthem of the Peaceful Army” as reflecting a commitment to “musical honesty,” which he sees as lacking in today’s music scene. Noting that he and his bandmates are humbled by comparisons to Led Zeppelin, Kiszka describes music fans as having a tendency to frame sounds they don't understand well in terms of music that has come before. For this reason, he ignores the endless debates on whether the band is simply aping rock’s glory days and focuses on forging a new sound that incorporates diverse influences, from the Fleet Foxes and Kings of Leon to Sufi chants. Since the breakthrough guitar blues hit “Highway Tune” topped the charts in 2017, Greta Van Fleet has consistently striven to expand its sound and attract a new generation of hard rock enthusiasts.

While the guitar's origins date back thousands of years, the instrument as it is known today was designed much more recently. Some of the early ancestors of the guitar include the bowl harp and the tanbur, which were played in ancient Egypt, Sumer, and Babylonia. The modern acoustic guitar began to take shape in Europe. Depictions of the guitar-like chartar, a four-stringed instrument, are found in carvings and illustrations from ancient Roman times. By the Renaissance, many of the instrument’s styles included a fifth string, which gave way to a sixth string in the 17th century. In the 1800s, Spanish designers George Louis Panormo and Antonio Torres Jurado created the classical guitar form. Torres' design greatly improved the sound of the instrument and became the standard by which guitars are made today. |
