Jodi Siegel

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Jodi Siegel brings a soulful voice, masterful slide guitar and a groove-rich blend of blues, R&B, soul and jazz to the stage. Born in Chicago and now based in Southern California, Siegel has built a career opening for legends like Albert King and Robert Cray, and writing songs that have been recorded by Maria Muldaur and Marcia Ball.

Her latest album Wild Hearts showcases her versatility — from funky, driving grooves to intimate acoustic reflections — and features a hand-picked group of top-tier musicians from the Los Angeles scene. On stage with her band, Siegel commands both the solo spotlight and the collective energy of a tight ensemble: blistering guitar lines, rich vocals, strong songwriting and seamless transitions across style.

For this performance at Sierra Madre Playhouse expect a set where every song feels grounded and genuine. Siegel will lead the audience through a journey of sound marked by emotional depth, musical craftsmanship and spontaneous interaction with the band. Whether she’s channeling the grit of blues, the warmth of soul, or the freedom of jazz improvisation, the result is a live experience that is both rooted in tradition and refreshingly alive in the moment.
