Ken Burgan is a living, Los Angeles-based legend. Formerly a saxophonist in Frank Zappa’s band, The Boogie Men, Burgan has been a part of rock and roll’s evolution since the very beginning. His new album, Somewhere Else, honors Burgan’s journey as a musician, father, and thinker.
Somewhere Else is a multi-generational capstone of creativity. Featuring production, bass, and drums from his son, Hunter Burgan, Somewhere Else blends family with artistry to amplify a singular vision. Filled to the brim with psychedelic ripples of electric guitar, thunderous crescendos of percussion, and dynamic vocals, Somewhere Else blurs the lines between real and surreal. His song, “Down There”, was released with a music video that captures a pensive Burgan as he navigates a hard choice while sitting on the steps of a church. Somewhere Else channels Burgan’s rich history and vibrant stories into a unique and confident perspective.
Somewhere Else draws in Burgan’s son Hunter Burgan, the bassist of AFI, for creative and sonic collaboration. Throughout his career, Burgan has contributed to a number of bands including The Imposters, The Red Roosters, and The Pointless Sisters. Somewhere Else is a tribute to the lessons he’s learned and life he’s lived as a pivotal voice in rock and roll.
