Details of Ian Siegal
Artist / Band
Details
In over a quarter century of touring, multi-award winner Ian Siegal’s mission statement has barely changed: songs that are real, shows that resonate, vocals served raw. Today he is considered by many to be the most compelling British blues artiste since the sixties. Classic Rock tags Siegal “a national treasure” and MOJO magazine ranks him “the cleverest writer and most magnetic blues performer in the UK.” He has performed in some 50 countries and amassed a trophy haul that includes two UK Blues Awards, 10 British Blues Awards, four European Blues Awards, two Mojo Blues Albums of the Year and three US Blues Music Awards nominations. They say you can’t sing the Blues until you’ve lived the life and when Siegal steps up to the mic, you can hear the slings and arrows. He commands the stage in a way few artists alive today can, with sweat, passion, humour, incendiary slide guitar and a soul-infused voice big enough to fell trees. Each year his influence spreads further, but what sticks most in Ian’s mind is his guest appearance at London’s Jazz Café with 92-year old Pinetop Perkins and other remaining members of Muddy Waters’ band. These legends of post-war Blues later spontaneously joined Ian on stage for what turned into a memorable hour-long festival set in Norway.
