Live music is one of the many wonderful things to be enjoyed in Second Life. First-class performers and hard-working managers and hosts deserve our support not only to show our appreciation but also so that our enjoyment can continue.

Where else can we enjoy such excellent live music at such a small cost ? Show your Linden Love !!!

MommaLuv Skytower at NAG, SL8B and Cat's Club Music Circus - 17 to 21 June 2011

I listened to MommaLuv for the very first time on Friday 17th June at NAG's Festival for Finest Electronic and Progressive Music.  Wow, what a great artist !!!  MommaLuv combines her music, singing, personality and particle-effects to create a brilliant and colourful show !!!  I wasn't in blogging mode but took a few snapshots and knew I had to listen to her again and do a full review later.




MommaLuv's music is mostly originals with a lot of collaborative pieces. Reis and Ald Alter arrived towards the end of Momma's show to sing and play together and perfect their dual streaming.  MommaLuv's American brand of progressive electronica and trip hop, and the Brazilian/Italian style of Reis and Ald are very complementary and very pleasing to listen to together :))

The Frytown Toughs at Notes Shack Pub - 1pm Monday 13 June 2011

Benski Korhonen and sme Resident from south-west USA are fairly new to performing in Second Life. Benski started playing in SL in January 2011 and was joined later by his brother sme.  It sme !!

Dottie and I have heard them once or twice before and enjoyed their sets in the friendly, bohemian atmosphere of The Notes Shack Pub and on Monday I was determined not to miss a chance to blog them :))


Benski on the left and his brother sme Resident


With few resources, Benski playing honkey tonk piano and their somewhat raucous or rowdy voices, they provide a brilliant hour of fun and entertainment singing a mixture of folk and pub standards and playing ragtime classics.  The repartee between the two brothers and regular members of the audience at Notes Shack Pub adds to the fun, and the sometimes rowdy, rude or sarcastic comments from the audience can embarrass, so be ready to cover your ears :)))

Gina Gracemount at Aftermath II - 6pm Friday 3 June 2011

Friday nights are always great for first-class entertainment in SL !!  For those who like a giggle alongside top-quality singing Gina Gracemount's regular show at Aftermath II is a must !!


Although Gina's show started half an hour late after major music stream and teleporting problems at the venue were solved, Gina always packs so much fun, entertainment and gorgeous singing into her shows that the wait only added to our anticipation !!  We were fully rewarded, not only with an extra 10 minutes of fun and laughter at the end before Gina had to leave for another event, but also with Gina's tip off as to why she had to rush off which I will tell you more about below :))




Born in the UK, now living in Florida, Gina Gracemount is an extremely talented singer of jazz and burlesque with a beautiful, sexy, sultry voice which is a real treat for the ears, and an amazing flair for stimulating audience participation and enjoyment.  Gina is certainly up with the very top SL live music performers and entertainers !!
