Tony MiglioreTony Migliore (Piano, Keyboard)
Tony's education in music includes studying at the Julliard School of Music, Eastman School of Music, along with graduate studies in performance and arranging at both North Texas State and Columbia University. Tony also served as a pianist and arranger for the United States Military Academy Band at West Point.

As a musician, producer, arranger, and conductor in Nashville, Tony has worked with many great performers such as Don McLean, KD Lang, Chet Atkins, and Mickey Gilley. Tony has conducted many major orchestras including the National Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic, Honolulu Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, along with show orchestras at the MGM Grand, Aladdin, Harrah's and Sand's in Las Vegas, Reno, Lake Tahoe and Atlantic City, and the the Tonight Show Band.

Ralph ChildsRalph Childs (Bass Guitar)
"I too went to the Eastman School of Music (where I met Tony, who was 2 years ahead of me). I was a Tuba major, and was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to the Royal Conservatory of Music in Manchester, UK. It was during Vietnam, so I wound up as the Tuba soloist in the West Point Army Band (also with Tony, by the way). After that I worked for Hal Prince for a Broadway show, and eventually followed my friend Tony to Nashville, where I've had a long and interesting career playing for just about everybody in town (Dolly Parton, George Strait, Johnny Cash, Willie, Waylon and the boys, etc.). I used to play all the CMA awards shows and other TV Specials in the 70's & 80's. I met Don in 1986 playing on two albums for him."

Ralph - Hello from SD! I took your advice and looked you up. I've navigated the site and now realize who I sat next to! :) We sat next to each other on the way home from Sydney to LAX. Thanks for making the cramped flight tolerable! It was a pleasure to meet you and share stories. I hope the last leg of your flight went well! Take care! Christine

Great job supporting Don McLean the other night at the Birchmere. I took my wife to the concert and am kicking myself for not having also brought my 17 year old son, who is an aspiring piano player. Please keep supporting Don and I hope you return to the Birchmere.
