Bob Dylan Birthday Celebration with Danielle Miraglia, Peter Parcek, Matt Borrello and Sorcha Cribben-Merrill! Bob Dylan has influenced every songwriter in one way or another and has been part of the fabric of our lives for generations since the 60s. Tonight four of New England's premier singer/songwriter/musicians Folk/Blues get together to play the songs that span Dylan's long career. Come celebrate Dylan's birthday month with musicians who will have both classic and unique takes on his songs.

Danielle Miraglia comes armed with a strong steady thumb on an old Gibson, an infectious stomp-box rhythm and harmonica with tunes ranging from heart-felt to socially conscious that will move both your heart and hips. Her latest "All My Heroes Are Ghosts," released with her band Danielle M and The Glory Junkies touches on a lot of what might be on your mind these days the loss of so many musical heroes. www.daniellem.com
