Understanding Medicare

Dan Rodriguez is a Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter whose music is rooted in hard work, open roads, and deep love of home. Raised in the suburbs of Detroit, he moved to Minneapolis at 18 to study music and stayed, embracing the snow, the seasons, and the sturdy Midwestern spirit that now shapes his sound.
A whiskey-and-beer-drinking, fishing-and-hunting-loving, motorcycle-riding, good-food-appreciating family man, Rodriguez shares his life with his wife and their two sons, Oak and Alder. That grounded, back-to-basics lifestyle runs through his songwriting, where blue-collar grit meets heartfelt reflection.
Music is his trade and performing is his calling. Whether he’s in the studio crafting songs, out on the road bringing them to audiences, tending backyard chickens, tapping city maples for syrup, or pulling vegetables from his wife’s thriving garden, Rodriguez lives the kind of life he writes about: honest, rooted, and real.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 10px; color: #000000; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; font-family: Calibri, Candara, Segoe, 'Segoe UI', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; flex: 0 1 auto; align-self: center; columns: 300px 2; column-gap: 25px; break-inside: avoid !important;">Danielle Miraglia&nbsp;hits the stage with a strong, steady thumb on her old Gibson and an infectious stomp-box rhythm, delivering songs that range from deeply heartfelt to fiercely socially conscious. Her performances are equal parts grit and groove, moving both your heart and your hips.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 10px; color: #000000; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; font-family: Calibri, Candara, Segoe, 'Segoe UI', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; flex: 0 1 auto; align-self: center; columns: 300px 2; column-gap: 25px; break-inside: avoid !important;">Her latest release,&nbsp;Bright Shining Stars, debuted at #15 on the Billboard Blues Chart. The Cascade Blues Association praised it as “…tough as rawhide, but smooth as blended whiskey.” Released on the Vizztone Label Group, the album captures the powerful one-woman-band sound Miraglia has honed over years of live performance. This solo acoustic folk-blues recording features guest appearances by Laurence Scudder, Peter Parcek, and Richard “Rosy” Rosenblatt.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 10px; color: #000000; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; font-family: Calibri, Candara, Segoe, 'Segoe UI', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; flex: 0 1 auto; align-self: center; columns: 300px 2; column-gap: 25px; break-inside: avoid !important;">Alongside her compelling originals, Miraglia includes select covers from her live repertoire, paying homage to influences such as Big Bill Broonzy, Bob Dylan, and Janis Joplin. The title track, “Bright Shining Stars,” was written by her husband, Tom Bianchi, adding a personal touch to an album that reflects both her roots and her evolution as an artist.
