Tessa's Take

Hey, Good Morning! It's a beautiful Monday morning here in SL!. I was quietly adjusting my prims when I saw a notice for the debut of a brand new musician. Now, you know I couldn't pass that up!I made my way to Guthries...one of the best venues for live music in SL and found it jam packed with avs anxious to hear a fresh new sound. We were all delighted by this new performer...who is he you ask...AdamHoek. He had a great sound, acoustic and live. He did some sweet covers and his originals were fun, his emotions clearly showing through at just the right times. It was an enjoyable hour and I know you will be hearing his name a lot more soon! I look forward to catching another set from Adam soon, maybe I'll see you there! Check out the comments for a link to Adams page!

Well, it's early afternoon and I have been venue hopping. I stopped by Guthries for AcousticEnergy Nitely's set and from start to finish I was entertained. AE is usually laid back, but today he was doubly so and it made for a nice relaxing hour of cool tunes and gentle chat. I enjoyed both his originals and his covers. I brought a friend along and she was blown away! She is a hard one to impress and she couldn't stop gushing over his sweet voice. So, if you have not had the chance yet, look up AcousticEnergy Nitely, maybe I'll see ya there!Thank you for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

Hey, have you heard Moses Rae? I just did, at Guthries, and what a pleasure it was :-) If you like folk music, then you will love Moses. His voice was clear and pure and the song selection was fun! Sometimes when I go to a show this early (6:00 am) I wait to blog til I am fully awake...but today, I was energized by the music and wonderful atmosphere. Guthries is just a nice place, ya know, welcoming and friendly. So if you are looking for something to do in the early or even normal hours of the morning, check out Guthries, and don't forget to look for Moses Rae the next time you hit search :-)Thank you for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

Hello Everyone, and Happy Friday!!! For the past 2 weeks I have been trying to catch a Marky Helstein show. I somehow kept missing him. This morning I happened to get a late notice that he was playing Guthries. I threw on a dress and took the ride. Marky hails from Scotland and his accent is lovely. He did some great covers, my favorite was Hey There Delilah. He cracked us up with his mid song giggles, a nice added touch. I also got to hear an original, very nice tune that really showcased his gentle voice. I would say you should definitely make it a point to see Marky, and soon!

It's Friday!!! I logged on early to catch some shows and I am so glad I did. I stopped by Guthries, the place for early shows to be sure, and caught Kellee Blaylock's set. I have heard Kellee before, but he sounded so different today! He was relaxed, and fun, his songs were great, even did Paper Moon! I have always been a fan, but today was like hearing him for the first time. If it's been awhile for you, catch a set, it's worth the time :-) Thanks for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

Good Morning! Monday arrived and I found myself awake and in search of some good music. It was early so the choices were limited. Then I remembered Guthries, there is always someone playing there in the mornings! True to form 6am brought JoAnn Diavolo to Guthries stage. Her first song was Stand By Me, her sweet voice with a hint of smoke made the song absolutely lovely. She is from Poland and her soft voice and cute manner made the show enjoyable. I would call her style folk based, easy to listen to. She does originals and covers and according to her profile, tours Europe regularly. I definitely enjoyed the set, here's hoping you do too!
