Danielle Miraglia is an American blues guitarist and singer-songwriter^[1] 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^[2] although she is scheduled to perform in Atlanta and North Carolina in autumn 2010. Miraglia grew up in the Revere, Massachusetts.^[3] She opened for Arlo Guthrie's daughter Sarah Lee Guthrie in 2009,^[4] and for Pure Prairie League in 2010 at the Chatham Sanctuary Concerts.^[5] 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.^[6] She began playing at the now-defunct Kendall Cafe in Cambridge across from Boston around 2000.^[7] Scott Sheldon, the booker and concert chair of Chatham's Sanctuary Concerts,^[8] heard Miraglia perform in 2009 at the NERFA Formal Showcase Selections and commented that she impressed judges, including himself.
