A Note from Jupiter Draper

Jupiter and the Moons has lived a lot of different lives. Since 2013, it’s been an orbit in constant motion — new phases, new players, and plenty of changes along the way. The one thing that’s never changed is the music and my drive to keep this project moving forward.

I’ve played with so many talented musicians over the years. People come in for a season, bring their energy to the stage, and then life pulls them elsewhere. Even with all the changes, the heart of Jupiter and the Moons keeps getting stronger. I’ve learned that a band isn’t defined by a fixed lineup. It’s defined by the vision behind it and the willingness to keep evolving.

If I had to describe my place in all of this, I’m probably the wind — always moving, experimenting, trying new things. I write the songs, and the project shifts and takes new forms around them. That evolution is part of what makes this whole thing feel alive.

The sound of Jupiter and the Moons lives somewhere between alternative rock, groove, and grunge. Melody with grit. Emotion with teeth. I’ve got a vault of songs I’m finally ready to open up, and I’m excited to see where this new phase goes.

This isn’t a restart. It’s just the next version of something that’s been growing for over a decade.

Thanks for being here.

MEET THE BAND

Jupiter Draper

Frontman | Lead/Rhythm Guitar | Lead Vocals

Raised on a steady diet of blues and funk, Jupiter found his voice in the raw energy of ‘90s grunge. A self-taught guitarist with over 20 years of experience—and just as comfortable behind drums, bass, or keys—he brings a groove-soaked edge to Jupiter and the Moons. Since founding the band in 2013, he’s been shaping its sound with heavy riffs, textured rhythms, and a love for lyrics that hit deep without shouting.

Janice Arcanice

Bass | Backing Vocals

Bass beast with 20+ years on stage, seven instruments at his command, and 250 future rockstars under his wing. Music director by day, prog-rock producer by night — straight from his bedroom lair. All groove, no brakes — always cranked to 11.
