Justin Siegel

Justin Siegel is a Boston-based drummer and founder of bands The Free Rock Trio and New Threads.

He met Jacob Keplinger at Middle Tennessee State University in 2016, and the two formed Seymour Butts as a joke project that evolved into New Threads within months. He released four albums with New Threads (Death in the Afternoon [2017], NEW THREADS [2018], Felonious Wilma [2019], and Threadsboro [2019]) before moving to Massachusetts in July 2019.

In Boston, Siegel and Keplinger teamed up with Siegel's cousin James Siegel, a bassist, to form The Free Rock Trio in the fall of 2019. The band has released four studio albums so far, with the first three in 2020 and the latest in 2021 (Free Rock, Buford, Gone Wild, and New Threads is Dead) and two live albums (Bootleg Series) so far.
