Sunday, October 29, 2023 Marc Douglas Berardo and Danielle Miraglia

"High quality story-telling, picking and playing." Rob Ellen - The Medicine Show Radio Moose Mobile, U.K. “Marc is my kind of songwriter: thoughtful but not overwrought, smart but not overly clever. Great language. He can get to the point, and he tells a good story. He’s got a Big, open heart for characters, and real people Trying to make it in this world. His songs often have cool surprises.” Walt Wilkins, Walt Wilkins and The Mystiqueros Rhode Island based Marc Douglas Berardo's songs have been recognized at many prestigious national festivals and events such as the South Florida Folk Festival and The Wildflower Art and Music Festival Song Contest where he won The Michael Terry People's Choice Award in 2014. He was a finalist in the legendary Kerrville New Folk Contest at the Kerrville Folk Festival. No Depression Magazine called his last CD Whalebone: “sincere, fluid, charming and above all gripping.” Berardo was nominated as Best Americana Vocalist by readers of Motif Magazine in early 2017.

Danielle Miraglia (murr-Ä L e a) comes armed with a strong steady thumb on an old Gibson,an infectious stomp-box rhythm, harmonica and tunes ranging from heart-felt to socially conscious that will move both your heart and hips.  

"Americana 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." - 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.
