sheries live music venue in second life

A quiet Tuesday evening together and we went to check out Ictus Belford at Sherie's Live Music Venue.

Ictus concerts are chill time with his melancholy voice singing contemporary popular tunes.

Sherrie's venue is perfect for live music. Large open space without pretensions. SherieAnn was greeting everyone with the friendliest hellos with even a bigger smile!

Live Music in Second Life

We have been "Live Music" cruising the past week and a half. So many great voices out here on the grid. We tp in and just enjoy one or two hours of incredible music. A couple of highlights this week were Anek Fuchs and his partner Gina Stella. These two both give me chills and goosebumps. Singer songwriters with a style that is very captivating and you got to hear them both.



We also ran into Harrison Digfoot, a guitarist with a harmonica playing pure Americana, folk and indie music. And, of course a tour of live music is not complete without the man himself, Maximillion Kleene. Max is a one man power house of folk, indie, alternate tunes... another favorite (get there early, because he packs a sim full).

Trav McCullough, the lady killer was crooning and breaking hearts right and left. He just makes me melt. Christopher135 Quan played piano with a flare and singing, and he will be streaming together with Anek Fuchs next week.

Sometimes, I feel like I am in a dream world of incredible musicians who give $50 concerts for pennies. I am honored and feel very privileged to be able to hear them.

The troubadours are singing their hearts out in Second LIfe. Passionate voices warbling folk, indie and Americana genres with guitar and harmonica.

Harrison Digfoot was performing at Riviera Paradise Club and I had never heard him. So we headed over and were greeted with a man's voice, guitar and his harmonica.

Raw emotions and a stand alone vocalist accompanying himself with his guitar and brief interludes of harmonica.

Pure Americana, glimpse of the soul. There is no hiding... no obscurity... just the purity of the voice.

Another good real life friend writes similar types of music... Mason Lindahl. Try to catch his music on the web or on iTunes.

maximillion kleene live musician in second life

Whenever I need a spiritual boast, I come to a Maximillion Kleene concert. Max is and will always be someone special for me in the live music scene. He is a kind soul and even a more generous artist than anyone I've ever met.

He can sing and wrap the music around your heart like no other artist in Second Life. He does contemporary covers and even has a few of his own classics that he has written.

Today, we are at Ka-Leo-Lani Beach Club visiting the beach side venue watching the waves of the ocean. A gorgeous waterfall was flowing behind us as we rested on the pillows on the deck. So nice!

Max Kleene reminds me of real life friend Jackie Green who sings Americana, folk and indie songs that he writes. The New York Times has dubbed Jackie, "The Prince of Americana."

"Nothing Else Matters"... the Metallica song... the soulful mourn, the passionate voice... the raspy voice of Anek Fuchs did this song justice.

Live music at Shadow Realm featured Anek in a dreary building of darkness and despair surrounded by surreal art representing the darker elements of our soul.

Anek Fuchs is a rocker voice that needs to be heard. He is a voice of angst that tugged at my heart and soul.

An old art friend Naofume Camel was showing a video art installation today. His art performance was accompanied by his electro music set as he was spinning. Naofume is a Motion und Grafik Designer in real life.

The curved walls were a series of video screens with multi colored images forming a kaleidescope of colors. The theme was an environmental one of saving and conserving the world's resources and precious places that we try so hard to build in the virtual world. Green places... places of clean water and beauty.
