Dive deep into the world of veteran songwriter John Sieger as he shares his origin story, performs his original song "I Found Out" (featuring brother Mike Sieger on harmony!), and lays out his unique musical philosophy. From his start in Kenosha, Wisconsin—learning guitar from a friend down the block—to his major influences like Otis Redding, The Band, and Tina Turner (for her phrasing!), John defines himself as a "Folk Rock guy" rooted on the dividing line between R&B, classic country, and folk music. John Sieger's songs have been recorded by greats like Dwight Yoakam, The BoDeans, and Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads). Watch him share the energy, the craft, and the social contract he has with his audience through live music.

In "I Found Out," veteran songwriter John Sieger delivers a deceptively smooth and rhythmically compelling track about a moment of jarring romantic realization. The song’s mellow, almost resigned vocal delivery is brilliantly contrasted by a strong, Tex-Mex-influenced groove—a style Sieger openly cites as a key inspiration, particularly the work of the "King of Tex Mex," Flaco Jiménez. Lyrically, the song details a quiet, painful awakening as the narrator slowly realizes his significance to his partner was far less than he believed: “I found out I could get lost / And she wouldn't care.” “I found out all this time / She didn't really even know that I was there.” Despite the poignant theme of a love that was never fully reciprocal, the song maintains an upbeat, head-nodding rhythm that suggests moving on and embracing the bittersweet truth. It’s a masterful piece of Americana songwriting, proving that even a broken heart can inspire an irresistibly catchy tune.
