Arthur Migliazza Boogie Woogie Piano

When Arthur Migliazza, the Boogie Woogie Piano Man, performed at The Lyric Theatre this past spring, he brought down the house. The award-winning blues and Boogie Woogie pianist returns with more of the music that leaves you tapping your toes and leaving the theater happy.

For his solo show at The Lyric, he will follow a similar format to Boogie Stomp! but with one piano. “I’ll tell the history of Boogie Woogie piano and stories about the origins and the players,” he said. “There will be jokes woven in. It’s kind of a musical tour. I sing and play and the audience gets to know me a little better. I guarantee they haven’t seen anything like it because not that many people are doing this music in the authentic way. I have a personal style, but I stay true to the elements that made it great in the first place. It’s not just banging away, it’s the subtleties of the music, the story-telling, the playing in the groove. Even if they think they know what they’re going to see, I think it won’t be what they’re expecting. I think they’ll be happy.”
