Danielle Miraglia is an American blues guitarist and singer-songwriter[4] based in Boston who has attracted attention at the 2009 North East Regional Folk Alliance competition. Miraglia (pronounced murr-Ä L e a) performs generally in the northeast region of the United States[5] although she performed in Atlanta and North Carolina in autumn 2010. Her music ranges from the "heart-felt to socially conscious", according to one report.[1] Miraglia grew up in the Revere, Massachusetts[6] and studied at Emerson College in Boston.[1] She opened for Arlo Guthrie's daughter Sarah Lee Guthrie in 2009,[7] and for Pure Prairie League in 2010 at the Chatham Sanctuary Concerts.[8] She plays using a Gibson guitar, accompanied sometimes by harmonica. One Internet reviewer described as voice as whiskey tinged, and wrote that she has a sharp wit.[9] Her music was compared by reviewer Bob Gottlieb to Janis Joplin in the sense of having the wisdom of an older singer in a younger body;[10] another reviewer described her voice as similar to Bonnie Raitt.[11] She began playing at the now-defunct Kendall Cafe in Cambridge across from Boston around 2000.[3] Scott Sheldon, the booker and concert chair of Chatham's Sanctuary Concerts,[12] heard Miraglia perform in 2009 at the NERFA Formal Showcase Selections and commented that she impressed judges, including himself, and described her as a "blues belter" when announcing her performance in 2010.
