Mr. Egg is the brainchild and recording/performing moniker for songwriter/producer Ken Adams. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Adams (originally from Texas) weaves together hook laden, theatrical, yet haunting and psychedelic songs, conjuring and blending a broad range of influences. Drawing upon his upbringing in the culture of the South, and his love for British psychedelia, along with post punk and a touch of prog, he blends his influences into a unique sound and production style all his own.
Assisted by several collaborators and band members along the way, Mr. Egg is a project that is unafraid to bend genres and does so with a surprising pop sensibility. Comparisons to Camper Van Beethoven, Beck, Modest Mouse and The Flaming Lips have been made, and without too much protest...
Adams also writes and performs in his other main project with some former Mr. Egg cohorts call "Gravity Plan." You should check them out too. This is Adams' main live and current recording project. Notice the different version of "Gone Missing," Mr. Egg's signature garageband.com track. myspace.com/gravityplanmusic
Adams also produces and engineers other artists locally and nationally.
