Tessa's Take

Hello Everyone, today, as you know, is a significant day in the history of not only the United States but also the world. As we look back and remember the events of 9/11 I ask that each of you remember how lucky we are to be here, and what is truly important. There are many events to commemorate that fateful day 10 years ago. In SL, Patrick Thorkveld and Liz Harley have put together an entire day of music at Key West. The event begins with a moment of prayer at 9:45 and goes on until 8pm sl time, followed by the haunting sounds of the bagpipe to finish the evening. Each performer is special and giving of their time and talent for this emotional tribute. I hope you enjoy the music as you sit back and remember those lost, and those who have survived to carry on. Many things have changed in these past 10 years, some good some bad, but one thing remains the same, the power to heal through music. Come and feel it with us at Key West Resort today.

Hey Everyone! I was happily perusing my massively unkempt inventory when I was sent a tp. The request came from a good friend with a note that said..."OMG" So, of course, I took the tp. I landed at Two Moon Paradise as an Italian performer, Amleth Mccallen, was chatting on mic. The 2011 Meta Stock winner has a lovely accent, and his voice was vaguely familiar. I was anxious to hear him sing and WOW, I was not disappointed! He was awesome! A gentle manner and an excellent delivery of some beautiful songs. I am a fan of a few of the Italian songs he covered and I loved the English covers too!It was a pleasurable hour! I look forward to seeing more of this versatile performer and I hope you will too!

It's a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I wanted something sweet to listen to...something to help me savor the end of the day...as I watched the sun begin to set. I looked in my notices...and saw a name that was new to me, NigelCPalmer. he was playing at Nudist Paradise...a lovely clothing optional venue with a reputation for great live music shows. I arrived to the beautiful voice of Nigel singing You Raise Me Up. He did an excellent rendition...a perfect moment to accomplish my aforementioned goal. I really enjoyed his sound...and was pleasantly surprised at his ability to switch genres smoothly...His voice melting the audience both clothed and not lol. I highly suggest you check him out...he's worth the time! Thank you for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

Tonight was a special night at key West...Liz Harley's BIRTHDAY!!! I arrived just in time to hear an awesome dual stream. Max Kleene and Gabryel Nyoki. These two have dualed several times in the past and they just get better and better! The Blowers Daughter made you want to cry and the grand finale...American Pie, had everyone singing along. We hated to see it end, the crowd was just enthralled with these two amazing musicians. I suggest if you hear they are dualing again...catch the show! Happy B-Day Liz!!!Thank you for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

It's Friday! I haven't been out much this week, had some things to work through, but this evening I made a break for it and found myself at a Lou Mannock show. Lou has been around awhile, certainly not new, but his set still sounded fresh and fun! His song list is impressive and his voice equally so. I requested a favorite song which Lou sang to perfection....in English and Spanish no less! He was very sweet to talk to, the music was great and to add to it all...EVERY tip he makes this weekend is going to the RED CROSS charity for the victims of the recent tornadoes! So I say, if you do nothing else this weekend, catch a set with Lou! It will be fun, entertaining and all for a great cause! Thank you for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

I strongly urge you to check him out, the sound was great, the voice awesome..and the set rocked! Look him up, make your way to a show and bring a friend or 3!

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!

It's Friday! An awesome friend of mine invited me to come hear a friend of his who was singing today. I landed at Constellations to the sweet sounds of Sultry Sonata. She has a beautiful voice, full and strong. I loved her song choices, 2 AM Breathe...Dead or Alive...she is a very versatile singer...with a sweet, sweet personality. I look forward to catching more of her sets and I hope you do too!Thank you for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

Hi Everyone! I know it's been awhile, you know how it is...SL has a way of wreaking havoc with our emotions and mine seem to be the favorite lately. I am finally back to searching for new and interesting music in SL and today I came across Mica Breen. He isn't exactly new...but new to me :-). I caught his set at The Dirty Martini, Venus Panthar's place. Awesome venue, very friendly and great atmosphere...and I am so glad I made it there! Mica is a Georgia boy living in Texas, a real country boy! He does a variety of country songs, some originals too! It was a great time, the crowd had fun and the chat was really cute! One suggestion...don't mention chocolate during his sets unless you want to hear him moaning a bit...on second thought....CHOCOLATE!

Hey, remember I was telling you about some cool upcoming events? Here is an update from Patrick Thorkveld about one of those awesome happenings!

To date we have about 100 of our best musicians including many who sing only originals. We will broadcast those live through Indie Radio in here - this goes out then to about 70 stations - as i understand it - out through Nashville. We will also have Metaverse TV ( no relation to Metaverse Music or any other Metaverse group) which is one of SL s most reputable television production groups , filming intermittantly throughout all days. This event will cover April 22- 25 and includes Rockcliff University , Catatsrophic Planning and Management Institute , Metaverse TV , Calas Galadon, Moonacy, Aero Pines , RFYR among its sponsors.

It's Wednesday, Hump Day if you will...and I found myself at The Roof @ NYC and Studio Markus Galleries. I came to hear Gavin Zane, a wonderful newish SL performer with a style all his own. The show was great...the audience thrilled with his awesome sound and fun banter. Following Gavin was AcousticEnergy Nitely...one of the absolute coolest performers of SL. He always gives a great performance...his sexy voice could melt butter and not just when he sings! The best part was the scenery here @ The Roof...not just many of my SL friends but also some of the best SL art. I found myself camming around to check out the works below us while listening. So, if you are looking for some great music, or maybe want to check out what the SL art scene is all about, take a peek in NYC at the Studio Markus Galleries and The Roof too!

Check it out...looking for something cool to do this evening and I found myself at Cheyanne's Blues Warehouse to hear Jesse Ribeiro. I have to say I enjoyed the set...it was a mix of new and old songs with some originals thrown in. I especially loved his version of a Louis Miguel song sung quite beautifully in Spanish. The hour went by swiftly...a true sign that the show was a success. He has a sexy voice and a sweet personality....if you get the chance...have a listen.

Hi Everyone! Happy Monday! I got the opportunity to witness a great dual stream this evening. Beamer Lowtide and Gabryel Nyoki came together on the Crystal stage. Gabryel was playing electric guitar while Beamer did vocals, guitar and even some awesome tracks. The songs were incredible, the crowd was great and Gab and Beamie rocked the place! Each does a killer individual set, and I highly recommend catching a show soon, but if you hear buzz that they are going to dual again, get yourself there fast! You won't be sorry :-)Thank you for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

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!
