and then there was Coda...

This place always felt classy and pretty down to earth to me. Tonight it was confirmed.
Greeted very nicely, nothing over bearing at all. Quite the opposite, a sweet IM asking to join the group with a care package delivered by Jacqueline. That's service. Now as far as the layout goes, well done. There are two rooms for live music all spacious for your avatars to shake it down. Can I say this...low lag. Now get on down there to see Noma? That is exactly what I am doing now. Enjoy.

Von Johin

Here is a real gem.
You can feel the roots of music subtly its there and before you know it you are taken.
Now twice I have been pleasured with that extra long set at DrJohn Lanes Prim Economy. That in itself a favorite place for me. You would be a fool not to.

Buddy's Bar

I found this place while wandering the sims for more music again, surprise, surprise.
I was at a Noma show and the Komuso came on next, so you know this is good already.
The establishment is a great build, well spaced out. When I asked about it I was told it was built after a first life bar and that peeked my interest.
Here is what they have to say;

Buddy's Bar is the new live music venue on SL. A replica of an Irish Pub in Limerick City in Munster, Ireland...situated down a seedy alleyway...with the Roadtramps biker Club, hippies, musicians artists..punk rock dj's to quality live artists, mainly Blues and Rock.

The owner Derric Foggarty is born and bred in Limerick and used to be a regular at the RL Buddy's bar. Derric's ambition is to bring to SL the unique atmosphere of Buddy's Bar, a friendly down to earth place for music lovers.

Teleport Now

Tukso & Chaos...did it again.

They just bring us to the edge and drop us. I don't know about you but that is exactly what I want my music to do. Playing together at Tukso's Church of Jam. Also included a live video feed of the magic happening right before our eyes. A must for everyone. :)

All I can say is Noma

I have not written about her yet, hard to do Noma justice. She is all music and all woman.
If you want the good old Blues, this is who you see. Simple.
She has such a loyal following and is among the tops in live artists.
The voice is just indescribably and the bass, I am at a loss.

Here is a quote from her website;
Noma Falta is a musician playing blues and soulful rock in virtual worlds and In-person around the globe. Although she is a classically trained violinist, Noma left a 10 year career with symphonies to pursue her love of singing and playing live rock and blues music - and never looked back. Gospel and blues are the foundations of her singing as she learned from hanging and playing with her pals in the southern african- american communities in the South.
Her experience is extensive with years of live performance(her favorite!) and studio sessions.
From her first duo gig in coffee shop to a 12-piece Soul band to 3 piece blues bands - music is the journey that will never stop.

Alisha Matova's Creations

...and yet another great creation by Alisha. It seems this time she has paired up with another of SL talents! I met her pretty much my first few days in SL. fell in love with her place and kept shopping there. I was a lucky avatar. She was great with helping me with more then just her items. Alisha even dropped a hint when I asked about music, Komuso. It must have stuck. Seriously, she is an honest person in world and my pleasure to have met her. Enjoy!

He has such range, but brings the funk everytime. Please come see for yourself. You can find is bio here. Feel free to contact me in world for more information!

Born and bred in NYC, singer/songwriter began playing in SL as a cover tune artist. Progressing from Yahoo Messenger to Paltalk and finally to SL. Tukso Okey is in search of better sound and interactivity for making music and entertaining people.
