<h5>Danielle Miraglia</h5>
Danielle Miraglia comes armed with a strong steady thumb on an old Gibson and an infectious stomp-box rhythm with tunes ranging from heart-felt to socially conscious that will move both your heart and hips. Her latest “Bright Shining Stars” debuted at #15 on the Billboard Blues Charts.
Cascade Blues Association calls it “… tough as rawhide, but smooth as blended whiskey.” Released Oct 2020 with Vizztone Label Group, it’s a solo acoustic folk/blues record that highlights the one-woman-band live sound she’s honed over the years, featuring guest appearances by talented friends Laurence Scudder, 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, plus the title track “Bright Shining Stars,” written by her husband, Tom Bianchi.
“Amricana and blues practitioner Danielle Miraglia wisely avoids fuss and clutter on her latest album, Bright Shining Stars. Fingerpicking and strumming on acoustic guitar are central to her sound, with percussion frequently provided by the infectious stomp of her foot. Three of the 11 tracks here are solo recordings, reinforcing a truism that the artist frequently has proven on Boston-area stages: A charming voice and fluid guitar prowess are all an artist needs to keep a listener rapt.” – Bobby Reed, Downbeat Magazine
“Straddling the line where folk/roots meets rock/blues, Miraglia has 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 heavy, thumping strike on her Gibson that’s backdrop percussion in itself.” – Lauren Daley, The Boston Globe



<h5>Adam Sherman Duo with Peter Hoffman</h5>

Symphony by the Sea opens its 45th season on Sunday, November 8, at 3 p.m. at the Cabot Theater, with “The Heavenly Life,” featuring Mahler’s Symphony No. 4.

The symphony opens with sleigh bells, unfolds in sunlit melodies, and closes with a child’s joyful song of&nbsp;paradise,&nbsp;a vision so dear to the composer that he built the entire work around it.
Soprano Sara Heaton, a member of the Metropolitan Opera Chorus whose singing critics have praised for its “gleaming lyricism,” returns as guest soloist. Maestro Donald Palma, a founding member of the renowned Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, conducts.
Founded in 1981, Symphony by the Sea is the premier professional orchestra north of Boston, presenting outstanding musicians and celebrated soloists.

<h5>Antje Duvekot</h5>
Crafter of intricate, closely observed songs
“Her songs feel at once fresh faced and firmly rooted, driven by the whispery sensuality of her voice.” – The Boston Globe
“She creates an entire, detailed world in verse, and takes you there with beautiful and understated melody.” – Neil Dorfsman, Producer
Antje has extensive touring experience, criss-crossing the US and Europe many times. She is a compelling live performer and has been invited to play some of the top festivals including The Newport Folk Festival as well as the Mountain Stage, Philadelphia and Kerrville Festivals. Internationally, she’s headlined the The Celtic Connections Festival in Scotland and the Tonder Festival in Denmark. She’s the winner of some of the top songwriting awards, including the Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, the prestigious Kerrville (TX) “Best New Folk Award” and, in one of the nation’s top music markets, the Boston Music Award for “Outstanding Folk Act”, three of the top prizes in the singer songwriter world.
Singer-songwriter, Antje Duvekot is poised to unveil her fifth studio album, “New Wild West”, on September 15th. According to Duvekot, this collection of songs marks the pivotal juncture of mid-life and represents a new rung on the ladder of healing from trauma. The songs on “New Wild West” signal a genuine shift in Duvekot’s relationship with some of the enduring themes she has grappled with over the years. “On the whole”, says Duvekot, “my older songs sought to disarm trauma by bluntly acknowledging its destabilizing nature and creating a space in which to exist with that sensation, both for myself and my audiences. In contrast, the newer songs have the teeth and tenacity to openly confront and defy trauma. As such, I feel very warmly towards this collection of songs. They are long overdue dissidents”. Duvekot’s amplified voice in mid-life carries a protective fierceness that resonates across the album. Songs like “Girl on a Wire” and “Evolution” salute the perseverance we all apply to our human journey towards finding our voice. Duvekot says of hers, “I crawled into music as a protective vessel when I was a teenager. It lent me safety and allowed me to stay open and let in more continuous sunlight than I could have, otherwise. I want to pay back that loan. Many of the songs on ‘New Wild West’ do that”.
The album “New Wild West” came to fruition through the collaboration of Duvekot and esteemed New England singer-songwriter Mark Erelli after a joint tour inspired the idea. Over the course of a year, Duvekot recorded most vocals from her home, while Erelli laid down the majority of instrumentation and production in his basement studio with notable guest performances by Seth Glier, Robby Hecht, Winnie Horan, John Gorka, Richard Shindell, and Kenny White. The tracks were mixed and mastered in Woodstock. Consistent with the album’s central theme of pushing beyond comfort zones and embracing new frontiers, the cover art was generated by an AI, which Duvekot admits made her considerably uncomfortable at first: “The AI-generated image is evocative and uncannily fitting, yet I was uneasy about its non-human origin. In the end, I could not resist the poetry behind that discomfort, given the theme of the album!”
“New Wild West” is lush with the poignant poetry that is the hallmark of every Antje Duvekot release. The album’s title track, “New Wild West,” encourages someone in a historical position of privilege to accept impending progress with a gently patronizing sense of sympathy. “Open Waters” espouses authenticity and bravery, in contrast to “[those who] have volunteered to be chained by fear. From one pioneer to another: it’s not that we aren’t scared, but I’ll meet you there, out in the open waters.” “Girl on a Wire” revisits a tightrope metaphor that once ran through Duvekot’s 2009 song “Vertigo,” where the protagonist feared “I will break all my bones; I lied about the Vertigo.” In “Girl,” the protagonist, instead, “walks a tightrope in the eye of the storm…I am the girl who out-dared gravity…you can keep your Phoenix and SpaceX and Richard Branson, this is me flying, this is me dancing.” The opening track on the album, “Evolution,” echoes a similar sentiment, celebrating growth (and literal evolution) and inviting us to “marvel at how far we came since the early dog days of our prehistoric dawn. Back when the phases of the moon were still just phrases without a tune…But I see you now and Holy cow, look at you now.”
