John Sieger

As leader of Milwaukee’s Semi-Twang, John Sieger got a taste of national success, albeit a modest one, signing with Warner Bros. and releasing the semi-classic Salty Tears in 1988. After that band’s breakup, Sieger moved to Nashville and found some success writing songs for other artists, but he came back to town years ago and has played with various bands, including The Subcontinentals, where he’s joined by his brother Mike. Sieger also has kept up with his solo work, releasing The Shaming Of The True, a grab bag of roots-rock, country, and R&B sounds, in 2008.
