Ian Siegal is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, bandleader and recording artist whose music encompasses Blues and Americana. Born near Portsmouth in England, in the late 1980s, he dropped out of art college and went busking in Germany.[1] He has toured in the UK and Europe, . In 2005 he released the first of several albums on the Nugene label. "Meat & Potatoes" was recorded with Nikolaj Bjerre (drums), Andy Graham (bass), Jonny Henderson (organ) and with guitar contributions by Matt Schofield, who also acted as producer. The album includes several songs written by Siegal or co-written with Keith Harrison, that have since become readily identified with Siegal's sound and style. The album is listed in the Penguin Book of Blues Recordings. Two further albums with the same line up follows: in 2007 "Swagger" and in 2009 "Broadside" - the latter picked by MOJO magazine as blues album of the year. A year earlier, he released his first solo acoustic album, 2008's "The Dust".
