19 | Danielle Miraglia Folk Concert
New Bern, Craven County
A strong steady thumb on an old Gibson guitar showcases the delta blues influenced guitar style of Danielle Miraglia. Add a raspy, whiskey-tinged voice reminiscent of Lucinda Williams, and you might be tempted to label her a blues artist. However, while homage is paid to these blues traditions, Danielle’s classic rock verve and eclectic array of song subjects give her a niche of her own. A creative writing degree originally intended for novels has produced a body of songs and CD’s earning rave reviews, and her sharp wit
and engaging stage presence has gained her fans from around the world. We
are fortunate that she will join us here in March 2010. The concert will take place
at the Trent River Coffee Shop. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 Down East FolkArts Society members and $8 students. Doors open at 7pm with the concert beginning at 8pm. For more information please contact the Down East
