Tessa's Take

It's Friday night and The Sea Nymph had a rockin line up! First up was Finnegan Faith! I have written about Fin before, he is new (again) to SL music and he was spot on tonight! He was running a lil late, so when he arrived he started right in with his soulful voice. The crowd gathered to catch his 30 minute set, cheering him on with each great tune. He finished up with his usual flair, making us smile. I can honestly say we all enjoyed his set and look forward to having back again soon! At 6pm he passed the reigns to Sojurn Rossini. We didn't know it, but it was Soj's rezday! Halfway through his set someone mentioned it and we all started with the well wishes. I think Soj was more surprised then the rest of us lol. He gave us some gritty covers of the hottest in SL music. One of the coolest things about Soj is that he also broadcasts on video so you can watch him sing as well as listen. I really had a great time and at the top of the hour Soj asked if he could continue singing...who would say no lol So at this moment, 30 minutes past the hour we are all still here enjoying this wonderful musician! Happy Rezday Sojurn! Thank you for an awesome Friday night!!!Thanks for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

Hi My Friends, today's blog is not going to be the usual fare. I am sad to say that SL has lost someone near and dear to the music community. Doc Firecaster, a wonderful singer, songwriter and musician was taken from us Wednesday morning. While performing in SL Tuesday he became ill and was taken to the hospital. Sadly, he didn't come home. I met Doc at The Audio Union, where he dazzled us all with his soulful voice and musical talents. I had the pleasure of speaking with him several times and found him to be one of the nicest people in my SL. His beloved, KatRose Serendipity, has sent out a notecard to his friends and fans and she is planning a memorial for him at her venue, The Kat Rose Secret Garden of Live Music, if you would like to pay your respects. In time, she will have a vendor with his music and all proceeds will go to a memorial fund so the cd he dreamed of making , and sent her artwork for is produced in RL. She asks that we help her keep Doc's music alive in our hearts.

Happy Over The Hump Day! I spent a lot of time in RL today and I was worried about having someone to blog about tonight. I needn't have worries, as I have wonderful friends always keeping an eye out for new talent for me! Soon after logging in tonight I received a TP from a good friend to hear Idella Quandry. She was playing at The Drunken Drow, one of my favorite places. She was singing when I arrived and the first thing I noticed was the smoky quality to her voice. I really like it when I can pick the right word off the bat. She did an awesome cover of Sitting on the Dock of the Bay! She has a very relaxed style, perfect for songs like that. I checked out her profile and wow the girl has it going on! Self described as a, "Progressive blogger, musician and author Alicia Morgan -Last Left Turn Before Hooterville" She has written a book available in world and performs in SL and RL! here is the link to her blog, check it out!http://lastleftb4hooterville.blogspot.com I loved the show, as did my friends. I know she is someone to keep an eye on, so when you are looking for a good smooth listen, look up Idella! Thanks for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

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!
