The Monthly Beatdown with John Sieger: 'I'm A Big Boy Now'

Bonnie North

Once a month, Milwaukee singer-songwriter John Sieger brings friends and fellow musicians into Lake Effect's performance studio to play and chat.

For May's The Monthly Beatdown, Sieger is joined only by his alter ego to perform I'm A Big Boy Now.

Sieger says that it is not very often he writes songs as diary entries, writing until almost all specific details are gone. "Music is a white lie," he says. "It is manipulating people like crazy but your intentions are good."
