Tessa's Take

Hello! It's Tuesday, in case anyone forgot, and it was a special DAYTIME edition of The Audio Union! We had been getting so many requests for an earlier audition time, we finally gave in and set one up. We started the show off with Harrison Digfoot. He was awesome, doing a few covers and a fun new original based on SL. Everyone enjoyed Harri's time on stage and hopefully he will come back to TAU again and again! Pandora Breadbin was up next, I had never heard her perform, so I was looking forward to it. She has a sweet voice and sang some favorite classics. The crowd was cheering her on! It was a great 15 minutes and I look forward to catching a full set soon! Coming in just before the wire, Turner Harbrough took the stage. He was his upbeat, fun self, singing some of his best covers. The crowd was very vocal about how much they enjoyed Turners music and I think many of us secretly hoped he would just keep singing! We waved goodbye to Turner and Welcomed Cranston Yordstorm to the TAU stage. Cranston sang some really great covers, showtunes, rock classics and even the theme from True Blood! His 15 minutes rocked and we look forward to having Cranston and all the performers today back at TAU soon! Thank you to the many venue's represented today, thank you to the musicians and thank you to Kimmie and Rusty, they make TAU what it is!

Tessa's Take

Hey There! It's Tuesday and a TAU night!!! Wow we had quite the crowd! It was great to see all the venue's represented! We started our night out with Covenant Wylder, this was his second visit with us and he didn't disappoint! He sang some very cool originals and finished off with Black Velvet, one of my favorites. He has the distinction of having sung the most songs in his 15 minutes, way to go Cov! Up after Cov was Phoenix Gerhadsen. I had never heard her before, but I had seen her name in search quite a bit. Her first song was in my top 10 old faves, Big Spender, and she rocked it! Her voice was strong and clear, and she maintained her composure even as her SL crashed, the sign of a true professional. Our third performer was unable to come so Billy Mikoyan agreed to take the slot. It was a real treat. Billy is an awesome listen! The crowd was in awe as he rocked us out, going a touch over his time, he was so into it! We waved goodbye to Billy and welcomed a new SL performer to the stage, Icky Flux. He was another surprise performer and we were so glad he could make it on such short notice. Icky sang with a sweet soft voice, entertaining us with his accent (British I think) and we were all singing along with him too! Thanks so much Icky!! Following Icky was RB Hamelin. RB has been with us before so I was anxious to hear him tonight, and I was not disappointed! He did all originals, and they were awesome to say the least! I look forward to catching more of RB's shows, he rocks! Our last performer of the night was Chapman Zane. I had the pleasure of hearing him earlier this week and was looking forward to hearing more. He gave us some really great songs and a really cute original too! I totally plan to hear him again soon. The night was a great success, we had such a wonderful turn out, thanks to all that came!

Tessa's Take!

Hey Everyone! Guess what tonight was? That's right it was a TAU night!!! The Audio Union opened it's doors (well, we have no doors but you know what I mean) for another great lineup! The group grew slowly but midway through we had a rockin crowd. First up was Cabernet Oliveiri. I had the chance to hear Cabernet's cd earlier this month and it was great so I was excited to hear him live. He did an awesome 15 minutes, I think everyone enjoyed it. TerryLynn Melody took the stage next and performed three of her original tunes including my favorite, Here Comes Trouble. She has such a cool style and sang with so much emotion, it was an awesome set. The third musician was unable to attend so thankfully Takezau Abbot was in the audience and he agreed to fill in. What an awesome fill in! We all enjoyed his time on stage and look forward to seeing him again soon! Ariel Franchini was up next and was in superb form. We rocked to his tunes and sadly waved goodbye as his 15 minutes ended. AJ REYES was up next and gave us some interesting covers and a first ever performed original tune. We were so lucky to be the first to hear it. Thanks AJ! Next up was the awesome Music Oxygen. He rendered us speechless with his beautiful strumming and soft sweet voice. Needless to say, the crowd was relaxed and calmed by his lovely song stylings. Last but not least was Jukebox Diesel. I had never heard Juke before and I was told by some of the audience that he was awesome. They were right! I enjoyed the 15 minutes and made a mental note to check a full set of his soon! Well, thats the rundown on TAU for tonight, look for a regular blog tomorrow, and catch some of these awesome musicians in your music travels.Thanks for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck
