Danielle Miraglia (Mer AL EE A)
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.
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
