Adam Marsland is an American independent singer/songwriter, most known as the former lead vocalist and primary songwriter of Cockeyed Ghost, a 1990s California power-pop trio whose sound was equally indebted to the abrasiveness of Husker Du and the songcraft of Elton John. Several years after the dissolution of Cockeyed Ghost's record label, Big Deal, the band--which had increasingly become a vehicle for Marsland's very personal songwriting--disolved after one more self-released album.
