Danielle Miraglia, Terry Kitchen, & Jim Infantino songwriter night.
For those of you who saw us at The Square Root in Roslindale earlier this year, you know you must not miss this show. A great combination of artists.
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. www.daniellem.com
Called “one of New England’s best songwriters” by The Boston Globe, Roslindale artist Terry Kitchen creates songs that are portraits of ordinary people and emotions, captured with extraordinary compassion, honesty and humor. He’s been performing on folk stages across the country since the 1990s, releasing a dozen albums filled with literate musical storytelling, supple guitar playing and distinctive, intimate vocals. terrykitchen.com
Jim Infantino grew up in the Manhattan of the 70s and 80s where he met Dave Van Ronk at the Speakeasy Open Mic. He studied Philosophy in Philadelphia and decided to move to Boston to become a busker. After playing the local coffeehouses and touring with Ellis Paul, Jon Svetkey, & Brian Doser under the name End Construction Productions, as well as two separate tours with Chris Chander and Dar Williams, he formed a band called Jim’s Big Ego. He has 7 albums with his band and 3 solo recordings. His songs have been featured repeatedly on the Doctor Demento Show, and All Things Considered on NPR. jiminfantino.com
New album in the works.
Two summers ago, Jim’s Big Ego began work with Ducky Carlisle at his studio on a new album of music after an 11 year gap. To our deep sadness, Ducky passed away this year before we could finish recording with him, but we are continuing to build on those tracks and are looking forward to having a new release of band material in the new year.
Solo In Isolation skips a week this month.
