Rancho Alegre Interview - Grupo Siggno

Recorded in 2012 when Siggno was in Seguin, Texas, for a benefit for the Enriquez family, and graciously made some time to talk with us aboard their tour bus. 

When we recorded this interview, Siggno was the the hottest band in Tejano music. They were riding high on Tejano Music Awards successes, a Latin Grammy win, and their first collaborations with Elida Reyna. 

Despite all of the success and popularity, we found them to be a hard-working group of guys who have paid their dues, love what they do, and have a great time making great music. It might seem that they came out of nowhere, but they’ve been at it for a very long time, with nine albums to their credit already. They jokingly refer to themselves as the “Motley Crue of Tejano music,” and defy traditional labels of Norteño, Tejano, and Conjunto by making (and writing and composing!) music from deep down in their souls.

It was a rowdy interview with lots of laughs, and we had a lot of fun getting to know the guys, and learn about their careers, and their past, present and future. 

Since then, their star hasn't faded and they continue to be incredibly popular with fans across the nation. 

However, frontman Jesse Turner has endured personal tragedies. In 2016, his son Jacob Turner (then the group's bass player) was in a near-fatal car crash that left him in a coma for four months and he has never fully recovered. In 2025, his beloved mother Narcisa Cortez Ruiz Turner, passed. Turner regularly featured his mother on social media, in song, and in live events back home in the valley, so she was well-known to longtime fans and colleagues. 

This interview is a snapshot in time and we hope you enjoy getting to know the guys.
