Award winning Blues and Boogie-Woogie pianist Arthur Migliazza began playing the piano professionally at the age of 13. Migliazza has been inducted into the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame, and was a finalist at the 2010 and 2014 International Blues Challenge. In 2005 Arthur was awarded the TAMMY Award for Best Keyboardist in Tucson, Arizona and in 2014 he received the Best of the Blues Award for Best Keyboardist in Washington State.
Migliazza frequently performs in Tucson and his hometown of Seattle, but his popular performances have taken him overseas to perform at the Notte Bianca Festival in Voghera, Italy, Club Tour in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Boston Dreams Jazz Club in Roppongi, Japan, Soho Jazz Club in Hiroshima, Japan, Festival International de Blues and Boogie in Paris, France and most recently at the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Russia.

In addition to being a performer, Migliazza began teaching piano lessons at age 15. During the last 19 years he has frequently been a part of the staff at the internationally famous Augusta Blues Week in Elkins, West Virginia and Centrum Blues Week in Port Townsend, Washington.
