Born 1966 in Vienna, self-taught.
Already as a teenager Siggi was very impressed by rock'n'roll and country music. He discovered the blues "live" during his nightly wanderings through the Viennese club scene.
He regularly attended the concerts of Al Cook or Erik Trauner and tipped deeper and deeper into this fascinating music. Afterwards, his own ability to interpret blues with instruments and voice developed and finally he had his first appearance at the age of 19.
2 years later he already used the legendary Wiener Rock-A-Billyband, the "torpedoes" as a lead singer. In addition to his great talent as a solo interpretation of the so-called country blues, the rural acoustic blues, he was able to prove his abilities as a wonderful band musician with an electric guitar. The dream of his own blues band realized Siggi when he collaborated with some musicians in 1988 The group founded the group "Hooked On Blues". In 1992, her first album "I Have to Stop" was released on WOLF RECORDS, which also features starlets like Magic Slim, Nick Holt & John Primer.
Also in 1992, Siggi was recruited to "Kentucky Calling" and in 1997 he also strengthened the "Honky Tonk Playboys", which were also country & western music oriented. He has gained experience as an accompanist of international blues like Louisiana Red, Big Jay Mc Neely, Eddie Van Shaw, and others, but also in countless studio productions, the name Siggi Fassl will always be found among the list of occupations. Alternate sessions were held with musicians such as Al Cook, "Johnny & the Creditcards" or "The Jive Giants".
Once Siggi is on stage, he will almost never meet him without a smile on his face, and his emotions and the intensity that he can put into his music captivates his listeners. There are countless examples of his musical development: Lightning Hopkins, Robert Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, Muddy Waters & BBKing, just to name a few ……… not to forget the heroes of country music Hank Williams and Jerry Lee Lewis. Erik Trauner invited Siggi in early 2002 to join MBB.
