Biography

Dick Siegel earned a reputation as one of Michigan's best singer/songwriters during the '70s and '80s. Siegel never had much of an opportunity to record until the '90s, when he released Angels Aweigh and Snap! Both albums received positive reviews and the songwriter won the Best New Folk Artist award at the 1991 Kerrville Folk Festival. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
