Prolific Sieger launches two-CD musical attack
John Sieger needs no introduction to Milwaukee music fans; he's been a veteran of the scene here for decades, fronting bands like Semi Twang, The R&B Cadets and, currently, The Subcontinentals. If you didn't know his varied talents before, you've got no excuse now. In the space of a couple weeks, Sieger has launched CDs by his band and as a soloist.
