($20-$30 Tickets + DICE fees | 6:30pm Show) Award winning Blues and Boogie Woogie pianist Arthur Migliazza makes his Century Room debut!
Arthur began playing the piano professionally at the age of 13. It was through his love of Blues music and his dedication to the piano that he came under the wing of such mentors/teachers as Henry Butler, Ann Rabson and Mr. B.
Arthur has been inducted into the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame, was a finalist at the 2010 and 2014 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN, and in his 30+ years of performing has played on some of the world’s greatest stages, including Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow as part of the sold out Kings of Boogie Tour, Birdland Jazz Club in New York City, Benaroya Hall in Seattle, as well as on National Public Radio in the US. As a star of the critically acclaimed Off Broadway show BOOGIE STOMP!, Arthur also performed at the Elektra Theater in Times Square, NYC for five months in 2015.
In 2014 he received the Best of the Blues Award for Best Keyboardist in Washington State and his album Laying It Down reached #20 on the national Roots Music Report chart, and appeared on the GRAMMY Entry List for the 2015 Grammy award nominations.
In 2016, Arthur started the world’s first online boogie woogie piano school, School of Boogie, to provide people around the world with access to free boogie woogie piano lessons. He has also authored two textbooks, considered to be benchmarks in blues and boogie woogie piano instruction, entitled How to Play Boogie Woogie Piano, and How to Play New Orleans Piano.
In 2020, Arthur attended New York University to earn his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and now works full time as a PT, while still teaching piano lessons and performing on the weekends.
