Behind the Curtain: Tony Migliore's Journey from Classical Prodigy to Nashville Legend - Part 1
The BHL podcast is thrilled to bring you this conversation with Tony Migliore! Tony has played on Grammy-winning records, toured with some of the greatest artists of all time (Elvis Presley, anyone?), and recorded in the studio with more artists than we’d ever have time to talk about. Tony is one of the most prolific studio and touring musicians of the last half century. Join us as we learn his story from being a childhood prodigy at Juilliard through his current role as band leader for one of the all-time great singer-songwriters (you’ll have to listen to find out who!). And this story is so rich we are bringing it out in two parts. Enjoy Part 1, and we’ll bring you Part II in a couple weeks!
Ever wonder what it takes to be a legend behind the scenes in the music industry? Join us as we dive deep into the fascinating career of Tony Migliore, a maestro who transitioned from classical roots at Julliard and Eastman to become a pivotal figure in Nashville's music scene. Hosted by Scott Heidner at the Cigar Bar Especial in Nashville, this episode uncovers Tony's unique path, his elite musical training, and unforgettable stories working with icons like Shania Twain, Steve Warner, Mickey Gilley, and countless others. From playing with top session musicians to crafting orchestral scores, Tony’s journey is a testament to talent, versatility, and the boundless love for music. Listen in for part one of an intimate look at the life of a true behind-the-scenes legend.
