Adam Green (born 1981) is an american singer-songwriter originally with the group The Moldy Peaches. His former Moldy Peaches bandmate, Kimya Dawson, is now also a solo anti-folk artist. Green is now best known for the solo career he began in 2002. His most famous (and notorious) song is probably, “Jessica”, off 2003’s full-length album, “Friends of Mine”.

Often compared to Ben Folds, Leonard Cohen, Ben Kweller, and Jonathan Richman, Green’s off-kilter indie alternative folk style has achieved a moderate college radio following in the United States and enjoys increasing popularity in different European countries, particularly Germany.

Green attended Emerson College for one semester in 1998 before leaving to concentrate on his music, going on to co-found the anti folk group The Moldy Peaches with Kimya Dawson.

In 2002 The Moldy Peaches went on hiatus and Green embarked on a solo career.

Green released several albums on Rough Trade Records. Among his better known songs are the aforementioned “Jessica” (about singer Jessica Simpson), “Novotel”, “Friends of Mine”, “Dance with Me”, “Carolina” and “Emily”, and, in Britain, his cover of The Libertines track “What a Waster”.

Prior to Jacket Full of Danger in 2006, all of Green’s albums had been released on the 22nd of the month. His latest album was released on March 18th, 2008 and is titled Sixes & Sevens. Titles include “Morning After Midnight,” “Twee Twee Dee,” and “Drowning Head First,” the latter a duet between Green and his girlfriend.

Fuck the Moldy Peaches, that's just some of Kimya's shit. Adam is much better musician than her.
