Her latest “Bright Sh ining Stars” debuted at #15 on the Billboard Blues Charts. Cascade Blues A ssociation calls it “… tough as rawhide\, but smooth as blended whiskey.” Released Oct 2020 with Vizztone Label Group\, it’s a solo acoustic folk/bl ues record that highlights the one-woman-band live sound she’s honed over the years\, featuring guest appearances by talented friends Laurence Scudd er\, Peter Parcek and Richard “Rosy” Rosenblatt. It includes originals as well as a collection of songs she covers at live shows\, paying homage to influences like Big Bill Broonzy\, Bob Dylan\, Janis Joplin and more\, plu s the title track “Bright Shining Stars\,” written by her husband\, Tom Bi anchi.
\n\n“Americana and blues practitioner Danielle Miraglia wisely avoids fuss and clutter on her late st album\, Bright Shining Stars. Fingerpicking and strumming on acoustic g uitar are central to her sound\, with percussion frequently provided by th e infectious stomp of her foot. Three of the 11 tracks here are solo recor dings\, reinforcing a truism that the artist frequently has proven on Bost on-area stages: A charming voice and fluid guitar prowess are all an artis t needs to keep a listener rapt.”
\n– Bobby Reed\, Downb eat Magazine
< p>“Straddling the line where folk/roots meets rock/blues\, Miraglia ha s a voice that can go from a raspy come-hither purr to an Etta James-esque powerhouse belt\, although she may be best known for her lead thumb — a h eavy\, thumping strike on her Gibson that’s backdrop percussion in itself. ”\n– Lauren Daley\, The Boston Globe

These are among the brightest stars of the singer/songwriter movement for the past three decades.
\n< p>CHRISTINE LAVIN
\nThe New Yorker calls her\, “wildly entertaining.” The Orlando Sentinel calls her\, “a folkZinger.” She’s working on her 24t h solo album. ASCAP awarded her book\, Cold Pizza For Breakfast\, the 43rd Annual Deems Taylor Award. Broadway stars Betty Buckley and Sutton Foster sing her songs. In April 2019 she’s inducted into the Rochester NY Music Hall Of Fame. When not making music\, she makes videos. When not making vi deos\, she bakes bread. But most of all she loves touring with musicians w hose work she adores.\nJOHN GORKA
\n
\nHailed by Rolling Stone as “the leading singer/songwriter of the New Folk movement\,” John Gorka is perhaps the quintessential singer-songwriter of the 90’s folk scene. Origi nally from New Jersey\, John served an apprenticeship at Godfrey Daniels c offeehouse in Bethlehem\, PA\, then the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene. Winning the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Festival\, i n 1984\, he was then signed to Red House Records on which he released his landmark first of 17 recordings\, I Know. Boston Globe penned Gorka “for t he sophisticated intelligence and the provocative originality of his songs .” Recent accolades include 2016’s Indie Acoustic Project’s Best Singer/So ngwriter CD of the Year for Before Beginning (Red House Records). 2018 bro ught his latest release\, and 14th of his career\, True In Time (Compass R ecords).CHERYL WHEELER
\n
\nBrilliant\, hysterical performances and beautifully crafted songs\, Cheryl Wheeler truly needs to be seen to be appreciated. Nothing you read in print\, nor nothing you hear on her al bums prepares you for how good a performer she is. You may not be familiar with Cheryl\, but you have probably heard her music. Highly respected as a songwriter by her peers\, Wheeler’s songs have been covered by artists l ike Dan Seals\, Peter Paul and Mary\, Kenny Loggins\, Garth Brooks\, Suzy Boggus\, Melanie\, Bette Midler\, Maura O’Connell\, Sylvia\, Kathy Mattea\ , and Holly Near. “Strong poetry\, complex melodies\, clever wit.” (Singou t!)PATTY LARKIN
\n
\nShe redefines the boundaries of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising lyrics an d vocals. Acoustic Guitar Magazine hails her\, “soundscape experiments” wh ile Rolling Stone praises her\, “evocative and sonic shading.” She has bee n described as\, “riveting” (Chicago Tribune)\, “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly)\, and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Performing Songwriter). R ecently an Artist-in-Residence at Berklee College of Music – and now on th e faculty at Fine Arts Work Center – Larkin reflects\, “I have been energi zed by the poets\, writers and artists I have met while teaching\, and fin d myself on a journey to break down some of the predictable pathways that songs can travel.” Her 14th CD\, Bird In A Cage\, is currently in producti on.CLIFF EBERHARDT
\n
\nOne of the most original songsmiths cur rently on tour\, Eberhardt is a highly intelligent\, articulate artist who se penetrating and profound lyrics are sometimes overshadowed by his extra ordinary guitar playing. Upon close listening\, the Philadelphia-born sing er’s gift for the English language is abundantly clear. The words that tum ble from his mouth are framed by a raspy yet deeply elegant voice. Like Jo hn Hammond and Richie Havens\, Eberhardt continues to carry the torch for traditional and contemporary folk music through his strong live shows. Whe ther he’s out on tour solo or with a small band\, Eberhardt’s guitar playi ng\, singing\, and original folk songs and blues make for a compelling\, t hought-filled\, emotional roller coaster of a concert.Tickets: http://www.regenttheatre.com/details/on_a_winters_ night.

Elwood and Aubrey blend gorgeous and unusual harmonies and play guitar\, Appalachian mountain dulcimer\, mando lin\, tin whistle\, harmonica\, banjo\, bones\, spoons\, limberjacks\, and other surprises including Appalachian clog dancing\, French Canadian foot work\, and Tap.
\nTheir per formance is appealing to all ages\, and with humor\, audience participatio n\, and a relaxed stage presence\, Aubrey and Elwood explain song origins to create a deeper understanding of the music and its cultural history.
