Music in its purest forms must constantly
be infused with new blood; young people who have immersed themselves in
tradition so they can take the form they love into a new millennium.
That’s what the Brothers and Sisters Blues Tour is all about - Timeless
Music, Youthful Energy, One Powerful Show.

Danielle Miraglia
A strong
steady thumb on an old Gibson guitar is the driving force behind Danielle
Miraglia's guitar style. With foot-stomping tunes that move both hearts
and hips, she brought an edge to the folk scene and has morphed into a
full out blues mama. This will be her first tour with an electric blues
band and My God Man is she ready. A national maybe international touring
star, her lovingly developed songwriting style has a depth and emotion
beyond her years.
Jack Babineau
Born out
of the acoustic music of lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Jack
Babineau, Don’t Blame Jack is the sum of five power players. Formed in
2010, their passion and respect for the foundations of good music has
garnered attention throughout the New England area. Coming to the blues
much the way the young Rolling Stones did, they bring a rock energy that
only comes from being at an age when anything is still possible. Fueled
by Jack’s rich, soulful vocals these guys deliver the goods with a
stunning mix of maturity and hunger.
