SL Music Wrap Up This Week

Let the pics tell the story.....of SL's live music scene.
Who did you listen to this week?  Here's who I heard?

1.  The Boom Pony  (Wednesday, May 6)

Frogg Marlowe with Jaycatt Nico injected humor and good tunes into our hump day.

2.  Following Effinjay, it was Anj Gustafson (aka Andrew Deal) rocking the stage at The Boom Pony.

3.  Thursday night, James Olmos (AcousticEnergy Nitely) played cross town at the Seaside Lounge...

4.  Saturday, I caught up with the versatile "torch" singer Maveen at Key West, who sings just about every genre in her unique style...

5.  Bel and I closed out our Saturday night listening to the cover band 'The Bloody Pirates' at Off The Rails....(with the venue owner on drums for the second half)...

So many choices of musicians to listen to over the course of one day to one week.  We try to vary it every week.  

All and all, Bel and I finally retired for the night to get ready for my DJ show on Sunday - Slow Bake on SL Live Radio, 12-2PM SLT/PST.   Come join me at MistyFalls this Sunday or listen live online.  Bring Mom!  (In case you forgot, it is Mother's Day - give the gift of music!)

AcousticEnergy Inducted into the SE Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame

Surprise!!!  Sher Salmson of SpiritFire Entertainment honored AcousticEnergy Nitely for reaching a 1,000 member fan base.  He was inducted into the SE Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame at Dragon Moon, owned by Sher, his manager.  The event filled the sim during the two hour event, and AE swooned his fans with his magical voice.  A special video was made by SE's Doris Fereszk in honor of AE with some of his closest friends, musicians, and associates "singing" his praises (so to speak) and then he was awarded a statue to mark this occasion.

Fans and good friends gathered to celebrate with AcousticEnergy.  Sher went all out in an elegant formal gown.

Doris (below) is seen here dancing, probably relieved her hard work was done, after her video was shown to his adoring fans. AE thanked her for putting together the keepsake video, which can be viewed at  http://www.youtube.com/user/SuperDoris65?feature=mhee

Singer/Musician Blueron Clyburn listened on in the crowd. 

The SE group gave out a teddy bear that played one of AcousticEnergy's original tunes during the event.

More details in the next edition of Best of SL Magazine (July).  For now, congrats to AE and the SpiritFire Entertainment Team.

I had a great time, along with my good friend Bel Barnes and fellow BOSL correspondent Kara Trapdoor.  

Be sure to check out AcousticEnergy on the grid.

A Casual Friday Night

A fairy tale setting, a warm summer breeze, good people relaxing and enjoying life...accompanied by live music at Under The Willows.  Soni back at you, popping in and out of the live music scene.   Let's start with the woman in the photo below, an amazing singer herself. 

Premiere SL Music Manager Sher Salmson (above, 2nd and 3rd photo) and Venue Owner Under the Willows Precious Rallier (4th photo) love live music, and so together they created magic this Friday night - the perfect talent at the perfect intimate hide-away for music lovers.  Below, AcousticEnergy Nitely with Kenzie Kytori (Kenzie's). 

Under the Willows is a beautiful live music venue.   I arrived in the middle of AcousticEnergy's performance (wonderful as always) and stayed to hear Avant (AvantGarde Frequency, 3rd & 4th photo from bottom).   The night was mellow with acoustic ballads from AE and then some from Avant, who transitioned into some classic rock favs as well.  At one point, the audience grooved to a Beatles Medley. and later some Moody Blues.   I caught a pic of the lovely live venue owner of the same name Kenzie (Kenzie Kytori of Kenzie's) slipping in a dance with AE, who performs at regularly on her stage.  A fab night all around.   Damian Carbenell stayed around for most of the night, and of course one of SL's loveliest music manager Sher Salmson was greeting friends and fans to the exquisite venue - UNDER THE WILLOWS (owned by Precious Rallier).

AE at Kenzie's

Sonicity on the live music scene. This is HOT off the press. Bringing*in*the*weekend*early, AcousticEnergyNitely performed to a adoring crowd. In the last half of his show, he was in a dancing mood, and invited anyone who wanted to join him on the couples' pose balls to do so. He danced first with the lovely green Elphaba Thibedeau (off to the right side) and then the vivacious Aspen Huntress. Then Andris Janus asked him to dance. So off they went doing the more manly dances, LOL. Well AE did say, whoever wanted to dance with him. He dedicated Daniel (Elton John) to Andris. AE, continuing to dance with Andris, said as he introduced his last song, an original I Fall Into You, that he would be thinking of a woman, uh-mm rather than Andris. It was all in fun, and Andis could have selected a slow dance noted AE. After the show, I had an opportunity to speak with Andis, and he said that he had never met AE before this night, and mentioned that he just "seems like a very nice person." And I will add, fun, too! You never know what might happen at his shows!

AE, always bringing friendship, laughter, good times, and of course talent to the grid during his shows. Join AE at Kenzie's every Thursday, 8PM SLT.

Lazy Afternoon at Coconut Rock

COCONUT_ROCK:http://slurl.com/secondlife/Two%20Moon%20Paradise/168/158/27

Saturday afternoon at Coconut Rock at Two Moon Paradise. Gabryel Nyoki and AcousticEnergy performing. Shiran Sabra, owner, always a joy to talk with, brings some of the best acts to her venue. She's chilling with Gabryel at one point at the foot of the stage while AE performs.

Just another great time with the good people of Two Moon.
