The name says country… sort of.

To be more accurate, fold in some Blues, Rock and Roll, Folk and a pinch of the British Invasion sound and you’d be closer to the tasty stew they serve.

Semi-Twang is a band of brothers — literally and figuratively. John Sieger writes the songs and sings them, brother Mike Sieger plays bass and sings sibling harmonies in the higher reaches. Producer/guitarist Mike Hoffmann, Keyboard/saxophonist Bob Jennings and drummer Bob Schneider, all veterans of great midwestern bands, flesh it out and then some.

Semi-Twang released the critically-acclaimed album “Salty Tears” on Warner Bros Records in 1988, with critics mentioning similarities to The Band, Creedence Clearwater and Doug Sahm. They call it Americana now, but back then it was pretty new territory.

After regrouping in 2009, Semi-Twang got busy. They released “Wages of Sin” in 2011, followed by “The What and the Why For” in 2014. Their final release in 2019, “Kenosha,” is an ode to the Sieger brothers’ gritty but inspirational hometown. The band will play its final show, The Last Twango, at Shank Hall on Saturday, October 16 prior to their induction into the Wisconsin Area Music Hall of Fame on Sunday, October 17.
