Celebrating Dick Siegel and His Music: The Ark
Dick Siegel, one of one of Ann Arbor’s most popular and renowned musical performers for nearly 50 years, will be honored at a special concert at The Ark on March 22. Now mostly retired, Dick’s music will be performed by a veritable who’s-who of musical talent, with all proceeds donated to The Ark.
Dick’s status as a local musical legend has been cemented over decades by numerous Ann Arbor musical institutions. The Ark labelled him a “local hero” on its calendars-of-events and annually showcased his autumnal “Sumac Concert.” School Kids Records, Ann Arbor’s long-time, go-to, independent music store, labelled him as “probably the best songwriter in town,” with songs that “combine humor and irony with a jazzy sensibility that deliver accessible and sophisticated tunes.”
The Ann Arbor Observer has described Dick as “a Renaissance man” whose “quick-witted songs that would sound equally at home in a Chicago blues bar, a Nashville two-step joint, or a college-town coffeehouse. His style careens through folk, bluegrass, old-time country-western, Texas swing, and rockabilly — sometimes melding all these influences in the same song.”
