The Boogie Woogie Family Experience with Arthur Migliazza featuring Giggling Pig

Award-winning pianist Arthur Migliazza brings the Boogie Woogie and Blues piano tradition to life through virtuosic playing and engaging storytelling. Acting as a living historian of a music form rooted in African American culture, Migliazza takes audiences on a one-of-a-kind journey through its origins and lasting influence on American popular music, including jazz and rock and roll.

More than a history lesson, Migliazza is a master pianist who grew up immersed in Boogie Woogie and Blues, learning directly from several contemporary leaders of the style—bringing both deep knowledge and high-energy performance to the stage. A hands-on craft activity hosted by The Giggling Pig adds a playful, creative element, inviting young audiences to participate and engage beyond the music.

 

More Biographical Information - Arthur Migliazza +

Arthur Migliazza is an award-winning Blues and Boogie Woogie pianist who began performing professionally at age 13. Mentored by legendary artists Henry Butler, Ann Rabson, and Mr. B, Migliazza has spent over three decades bringing the energy, history, and storytelling of blues piano to audiences around the world. He is an Arizona Blues Hall of Fame inductee and a two-time finalist at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN.

Throughout his career, Migliazza has appeared on renowned stages including Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Birdland Jazz Club in New York City, Benaroya Hall in Seattle, and on National Public Radio. His album Laying It Down reached #1 on the Roots Music Report (Washington State) and appeared on the GRAMMY Entry List, while his later release Bumble Boogie continued his tradition-driven, high-energy sound. He also starred in the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway production BOOGIE STOMP! in Times Square.

In addition to performing, Migliazza is a respected educator and author of How to Play Boogie Woogie Piano, published by Hal Leonard, and the founder of School of Boogie, the world’s first online boogie woogie piano school. He currently resides in Rhode Island, where he continues to perform and teach while also working as a licensed physical therapist.
