Blues Artist Corky Siegel Writes a Book on Performance
Posted 4/30/2008

Pianist and harmonica player Corky Siegel has written Let Your Music Soar: The Emotional Connection. The book was written primarily as a guide book for professionals, teachers and students. But it is also an exploration for non-musicians interested in the passions that drive musicians to create and perform

The first in a two-week series of events celebrating the launch of the book will begin on May 30 at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago with a lecture and then a concert featuring Siegel's Chamber Blues.
