Biography

Somewhere at the cross-space of rock anthems, epic science-fiction tales, funky dance grooves, mind-blowing improvisation, and orchestral melodies lives Igor's Egg. This Philadelphia phenomenon performs progressive rock, at its best. The various backgrounds of each member blend together to create a truly memorable and original musical experience.

Igor's Egg started with a dream, a higher concept, a world-scape unfolding through music. While musical story-telling has existed for thousands of years, Igor's Egg has taken it to another level. The music can be appreciated by an audience of all ages, but for the fan who is looking for something more, then, they've found the right band. The music tells the story of the history of the planet Amaris. Listeners can rock out to the band and also appreciate the underlying story and references that take place throughout the set. Igor's Egg produced their first album, "The Ultimate Tuh" in 2008, which is a prequel to the upcoming Amaris trilogy. So get ready for a sci-fi adventure that will blow your mind!

Igor's Egg is a 5-piece progressive rock ensemble featuring electric violin, guitar, keyboards/synths, bass, drums, and vocals. Since arriving in Philadelphia in 2009, the band has gained a dedicated following playing in some of the best music rooms and festivals in the Northeast. The live show is powerful and animated, full of lights, images and sounds which will transport you to another dimension.
