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

Good Morning and Happy Monday! I woke up early this morning and thought I would check in on SL. I'm glad I did! My friend CraigLyons Writer had sent me an IM with a link to his new music video. The video premiered Saturday night in SL, I was there for the unveiling. While the concept was awesome, due to severe lag, I, and many others were unable to see the video clearly. This video, created by a major international collaborative, is based on the Beatles song, Across The Universe. I hope you take a few minutes to check it out, the video is awesome, the message even more so. What the cast and crew were able to accomplish is mind boggling! So have a look, here's the link! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw5iwrEOBRg For some reason I can't make it a link, so copy and paste into your browser!

Tessa's Take

It's Sunday night and a great night in SL music! I logged in just in time to catch Max Kleene performing at Bay City. You all know Max, he was awesome! Harrison Digfoot was up next and he thrilled us with some great covers and a really fun new original! Catch these guys whenever you can! I was just about to hit search when I got a TP to another show. It was Lovesmiley Gumshoe, a musician who makes rare appearances in SL to perform. Let me tell you, if you have the opportunity, go to this guys show! His original songs are off the charts good and his voice, well, Ladies....let's just say you don't want to miss this one! He played well over, sharing his amazing talent with us! Keep your eyes peeled for Lovesmiley Gumshoe, he is worth the wait! Thanks for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

Tessa's Take

Good Morning! I had a really crazy day yesterday and didn't find my way to the blog before my eyes closed for the night. I'm sorry about that, but, I'm here now, and ready to tell you about the awesome show I caught late last night! Rara Destiny was performing at The Crow Bar, a really fun venue that sadly was closing it's doors after last nights shows. I arrived just as Rara was taking the stage, her chat and giggles almost as entertaining as her music. She comes to SL from Australia and her accent only adds to her charm. The crowd was filled with some familiar faces and some new ones, all eager to hear some great music. Rara sings with a sensual voice, making each song her own. Her trademark song, the one she calls the, "tip the venue song", Warm Whispers, is nothing short of incredible. We had the pleasure of hearing it twice last night, the first time she asked the audience to tip each other and the second time for the venue. Rara has a really great personality, full of fun, making her shows enjoyable time after time. I hope you find the chance to catch one of her shows soon, you'll thank me later!
