Danielle Miraglia was raised just outside of Boston in Revere, MA, where its famous beach is better known for girls with big hair than its history as a popular tourist attraction. She was exposed to a wide variety of popular music, from her parent’s Motown records to the classic rock influences like The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin that encouraged her to learn to play guitar at thirteen. A passion for the arts and an outstanding gift for writing led her to Emerson College in Boston’s downtown theater district. After graduating with a degree in Creative Writing, she put her writing skills, originally intended for novels, towards songwriting and began performing at open mike nights in the Boston area. This set in motion what would become a full-time career in music.

In 2001, she released her debut EP “Bad Poetry,” followed by a second release “Just Wrong Enough” in 2002. From there the songs poured out and the gigs flowed in. Since 2002 she has headlined some of the most renowned blues and folk music venues in Boston, toured major cities from north to south and beyond, while earning street creditionals vigorously busking the streets of Harvard Square. Her latest self-produced release, “Nothing Romantic” has received rave reviews. The songs 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.”

Danielle’s set will start at 8:00 pm. Our past Open Mikes have featured many outstanding talents from New England and beyond as well as some very talented performers from the immediate North Shore. This year promises to be no different, so do not miss out on the fun!

For this special show, doors will open at 6:30 pm and the show will begin at 7:00 pm. Door charge is $10.
