Ian Siegal (born Ian Berry, 1971) is a British singer and guitarist,

In the late 1980s, Siegal dropped out of art college and went busking in Germany. He has been active on the UK blues scene for many years, he is heavily influenced by the British blues - rock boom of the sixties and seventies. His 2011 release, The Skinny, was recorded in North Mississippi with Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars as record producer and he also played on the album. Siegal hired other American musicians as well including Robert Kimbrough, on guitar and bass Garry Burnside, and on drums Rod Bland. Also guesting were Alvin Youngblood Hart and Duwayne Burnside. This album was nominated in the Blues Foundation's 2012 Blues Music Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.

In 2013, Candy Store Kid was nominated for a Blues Music Award in the 'Contemporary Blues Album' category. This album was also produced by Cody Dickinson and recorded in North Mississippi at the Zebra Ranch Studio. Contributing are Garry Burnside, Luther Dickinson, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Lightnin' Malcolm and a trio of backing singers Stefanie Bolton, Sharisse Norman and Shontelle Norman.

Ian Siegal can occasionally be found playing unannounced at various Blues jams in London.

                         

Ian and the Mudbloods play the Belgium Rhythm & Blues Festival 2011. The Mudbloods is an occasional project through which Ian and musicians from Mississippi and Tennessee collaborate. This line up features the Dickinson brothers, Cody (on drums) and Luther (guitar), better known as the North Mississippi Allstars, and was specially formed for two shows - in London and Belgium, July 15 and 16.

To explain this movie, it follows the band (Ian, Cody, Andy and Paddy) from London via Brussels to Peer in Belgium, where they meet up with Luther Dickinson. Luther happened to be playing the festival on the same day with headliners, The Black Crowes, so a perfect opportunity to join Ian and his brother. All the songs in the show are from Ian's albums - the 2011 CD 'The Skinny' (produced by Cody Dickinson) and 2009's 'Broadside' (produced by Matt Schofield).

The BRBF in Peer is one of Ian's favourite festivals. It's compact, very well run and always has great blues and R&B artists. Ian is privileged to have played the festival four times.
