Bob Ego was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He started playing the drums at age 9 and was performing full time with bands by the time he was 15.

He was considered one of the top Canadian rock drummers throughout the 70’s and has an impressive collection of Canadian music awards.

Canadian band Painter released their first album on Elektra Records. It was a ground breaking album; combining the elements of jazz and country with thunderous heavy rock instrumentation.

The band showcased at the Whiskey A Go Go in Los Angeles, and toured with such acts as Procol Harum, Sugar Loaf, Frank Zappa, Lee Michaels, and the Five Man Electrical Band. Along the way Ego jammed with Donald Fagen (Steely Dan), and played a live concert with Frank Zappa which was broadcast over an Atlanta radio FM station. The Painter album, which became a much sought after collector’s item, is now available on Amazon.com.

In 2003 Bob was inducted into the Western Canadian Music Hall of Fame with Streetheart and is the recipient of the 2009 Double Platinum Award from Capitol Records for the self-titled Streetheart album.

Ego provided the beat for Streetheart albums Quicksand Shoes, Drugstore Dancer, Streetheart, and Buried Treasure, as well as on the hits “Teenage Rage”, “Tin Soldier”, “What Kind of Love Is This?”, “Look in Your Eyes”, “Snow White”, and the superb Spider-penned instrumental “Highway Isolation.” During his tenure in the band, they won a Juno and two Ampex Golden Reel Awards, toured extensively, and shared the stage with, Aldo Nova, April Wine, Harlequin, Kim Mitchell, Styx, and AC/DC.

Bob Ego has played on over 100 albums and continues to perform, record and teach drums in Las Vegas.
