Introducing brilliant bluesman: Ian Siegal
When he’s not collecting awards – think two UK Blues Awards, ten British Blues Awards, four European Blues Awards, two Mojo Blues Albums of the Year awards, three US Blues Music Awards nominations (not bad for a non-American) within the past decade alone – Siegal’s been doing what he does best for more than the last quarter-century: making people’s sneakers smoke.
Renowned for his authenticity, Siegal's mission remains steadfast: crafting songs of vivacious veracity, hurling out performances that thunder and serving vocals in their rawest form.
With a superlative stage presence, Siegal commands every venue he graces, infusing each performance with sweat, passion, humour and incendiary slide guitar riffs, all not necessarily in that order and driven by a soul-infused voice rumoured to bring down trees.
In his ongoing musical odyssey, Siegal's influence continues to expand internationally. A recent highlight includes a guest appearance alongside 92-year-old Pinetop Perkins and other surviving members of Muddy Waters' band at London's Jazz Café, a moment etched in Siegal's memory. Additionally, at a festival in Norway, Siegal experienced an unexpected role reversal as post-war blues legends spontaneously joined him on stage, resulting in a memorable hour-long set that left an indelible mark on all who witnessed it.
Currently, Siegal is channelling his creative energy into recording a highly anticipated new album in the vibrant musical hub of New Orleans, further solidifying his status as a blues icon for the ages.
Welcome back, Ian. We love you.
