Tessa's Take!

Yay it's Monday! Ok, Monday sucks, I know, but the best we can do is travel the grid and find some good music. I searched the various engines and caught both Turner Harbrough at Tantalus and Lexie Luan at The Edge. Two great shows. I floundered a bit after Lexie, but then, thanks to the SL Live Music group, I got a notice that EricSampson Swansong was playing in New Brighton. I took the taxi and found my way to the show. New Brighton is a great sim, worth a look even without Eric, but with Eric it was a must see. Eric is a musician who started in SL playing with CraigLyons Writer. He has recently started a solo career in SL and has been hitting the grid with force. He did a really great cover of Steal My Kisses, his voice fitting it perfectly. I found the listen very enjoyable, he was able to switch moods easily to match each song and his chat between songs was fun and friendly. Check him out, he has that certain something that will make you want to come back again and again. Thanks for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

Tessa's Take on SL's Live Music Scene

Hi! Welcome to Tessa's Take, a blog all about Second Life's live music scene! Today has been an exciting day for me; I discovered an SL musician I had never heard before. Turner Harbrough was performing at the super eclectic Tantalus club. I had a few minutes and thought I would check it out...all I can say is WOW! This guy is a trained vocalist with a personality to die for. He sang everything from Josh Turner to Captain Von Trapp! His deep voice and bubbling personality thrilled the crowd! I am sure to be found at another of his shows soon!

Next stop was The Kat Rose Secret Garden featuring Lexie Luan. I had the opportunity to hear Lexie once before at The Whiskey Go Round, and was anxious to hear her do a full set. Her soulful voice and sexy delivery were definitely a crowd pleaser! Her originals were filled with real emotion and humorous anecdotes. Truly a fun listen for everyone!

I got the opportunity to speak with Lexie after her set and she suggested I follow her to Zorch Boomhaurs next show. The venue took an unusually long time to rez and the stream was having difficulties, but Zorch persevered! He gave a nice performance, singing original tunes with lyrics I wanted to have on my playlist! My favorite was called The Troof, a song that truly hit home for me, and I suspect will for many of you as well!

That's all for now, thanks for taking a peek at Tessa's Take! Until next time...Tessa1 Beck
