Danielle Miraglia

"A beautiful, charismatic woman with a sexy voice, she doesn't have to be a good songwriter-she could fill a room if she performed exclusively Hall and Oates covers- but she is. A heart-on-sleeve storyteller with an innate sense for melody, her voice bends and sinks and floats in all the right places, with a raspy, whiskey bottle scrape most reminiscent of Lucinda Williams." -Dissolver Magazine A strong steady thumb on an old Gibson guitar is the driving force behind Danielle Miraglia's delta blues influenced guitar style. Add a raw, powerful, whiskey tinged voice and one might be tempted to label her a blues artist. But while Miraglia's style pays homage to these blues traditions, her classic rock verve, catchy melodies and eclectic array of song subjects give it an original twist that is all her own. A fresh sound along with a sharp wit and a captivating stage presence is gaining her fans all over the map. Danielle Miraglia's country/folk/blues sound descends in large part from Mississippi John Hurt, and she is a worthy carrier of that guitar-picking tradition. Her voice, reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt's, is strong but vulnerable, feminine but never precious, with a gutwrenching catch to it. Her guitar playing is both accomplished and soulful, and her songs tap into the ur-melodies and fundamental chord changes that form the essence of western music, while still saying something in a distinct and original voice. The songs on her latest release, "Nothing Romantic" range from heartfelt as in "Moment by Moment" a gospel-like promise to live in the present, to thought-provoking as in "You Don't Know Nothin'" which Jon Sobel of Blogcritics.com describes as "One of the best new folk songs I've heard in years. Its depiction and dissection of human misunderstanding is both sharp and tender. All you need to know about what drives people apart and what draws them together can be witnessed in a few hours spent in a bar. Many of us feel something along those lines, but Danielle Miraglia is that rare songwriter who can put it into words." "Inspirational!" - John Hammond "Fans in the Northeast are already hip to the talents of Danielle Miraglia. It's only a matter of time before the rest of the country takes notice." - Performing Songwriter http://www.daniellem.com/ general admission $16.00
