DANIELLE MIRAGLIA (murr-Ä L e 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 that range from deeply personal to socially relevant 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. “It won’t be long before the rest of the country takes notice.” – Performing Songwriter.
TOM BIANCHI “…he cut quite the picture approaching the stage holding his beat-up bass guitar with a strap proudly displaying scores of old buttons. The crowd was immediately suspicious…” Nick Zaino, The Boston Globe The Performer Armed with 4 strings, theatrical voice, killer wit and the will to live, 24 Hour Tom is always ready to put on a show. Improvisation is a big part of the routine as he weaves seamlessly in and out of songs, good times and fun. Funky bass lines, witty humor, and killer tunes is what you can expect when you go to see this self-proclaimed 24 hour entertainer. What People Say Randomly catching Tom in action prompted this Boston Phoenix writer to say, “The guy is funny, and he’s singing about exactly what’s happening to all of us right this second”. In a live review, Sound Check Magazine wrote “As the crowd danced, sang, and shouted, Tom riffs and ripples through stories and songs, ballads and funky one-man jams, personal greetings and other on-the-spot lyric changes, doing all he could to make his audience feel at home.” The Man Tom cut his teeth on the street. No, he did not fall down and cut his teeth on the street, I mean he has worked on his chops on the streets and in the subways of Boston, Massachusetts. After being told he just wasn’t good enough to roll burritos for a living, Tom was determined to make it as a musician. He hasn’t looked back since. The Show Are you ready for this??? Straight up slap bass funk, power polkas, improvisation, stand up comedy, original music, cover tunes like you’ve never heard them before, ballads, bass solos, suspenders, maybe even a bit of juggling and balancing if he really gets going. That’s the show folks.
BRENDAN HOGAN The Blues is not the only style of music I’m interested in… but I believe it’s at the core of all meaningful popular music and at the base of human emotion itself. I wrote my first song and took my first gig as a solo musician in late-2006, and find myself writing, learning, and performing around Boston and New England in the pursuit of understanding this music little by little.
