Kenny Siegal
In 1995, Siegal started Johnny Society, Johnny Society's first live performance was a showcase for Ray Davies of The Kinks who heard Siegal's basement recordings and requested to see the band live. "All Music" said about their first record: "It Don't Matter hits with the sonic force of a tidal wave, or to use a more appropriate analogy, like a one-band, end-of-the-20th-century rock & roll beacon the likes of which hasn't been experienced since the Beatles." Johnny Society's second record 'Wood' was on music critic Ben Ratliff of The New York Times' top ten list of favorite records of 1999, praising Siegal's "unpretentious, utilitarian imagination," and "perfect little agonized rock songs." Siegal won The Independent Music Award for Best Producer (along with co-producers Bryce Goggin and Brian Geltner) for Johnny Society's 2012 release 'Free Society' and 'Clairvoyance' won Album of the Year at the Independent Music Awards in 2002. All of the Johnny Society records have been critically hailed, earning Siegal comparisons to John Lennon, Bowie, Cheap Trick and The Lovin' Spoonful. Siegal's only solo record, 'Eleccentricity' was nominated for IMA Eclectic album of the year (2010). 'Eleccentricity' also features such guests as Siegal's wife, Gwen Snyder Siegal (aka Blueberry), Joseph Arthur, Trixie Whitley, and Nina Violet.
