6p Effinjay

Jeremy Works (Frogg) was a vocal jazz minor at college, while Marc lePine (Jaycatt) studied piano for 14 years, but they only started playing music together after joining Second Life. Together , as singer/songwriters, they have produced a comprehensive range of heartfelt and memorable melodies and poetically lyrical songs. They have a loyal listener base, and entertain and delight the live music lovers of Second Life.

7p Etherian Kamaboko

Etherian Kamaboko performs live acoustic/electric Roots, Blues, Americana, Classic Rock, Folk style of music. He sings and plays 6 &12 string acoustic, Resonator Slide, and electric guitar with harmonica with keyboard drum emulator. Etherian performs covers by Bob Dylan, Jeff Black, Muddy Waters, John Prine, and many more. A little of this and a whole lotta that!

8p Steve Genesis

Steve Genesis (Steve Regnier) is a singer, songwriter, guitar player, and guitar maker from Edmonton, Canada. His online shows are broadcast from his basement studio. He brings an incredibly diverse show to SL; some songs are acoustic versions, while others are high energy songs played on a loop pedal sounding like a full band. Steve plays both cover and original material. The styles can vary from acoustic classics from Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Paul Simon, all the way to Robin Trower and early Fleetwood Mac.

9p Dilah Halostar

Versed in most types of music, Dilah enjoys blues, standards and jazz in SL. Funny, warm and passionate, with a great vocal and emotional range, she lights up the stage whether singing or playing. She rocks like Jerry Lee Lewis and swings a great Country/Western tune. She can improvise a mean blues song on the spot from topics of conversation in local chat – she calls them “wing-it blues”! Dilah delights her audiences with her own original songs and with covers of several singers; she loves requests and also suggestions.
