Tommie Scorpio is a singer/songwriter from Sweden who plays a mix of covers and his own originals. His biggest influences are bands in the britpop and Indie scene of the 90´s, but his first influence was when he was six years old and got a tape of Elvis Presley. Also influenced by Beach Boys and other great bands and artists of the 60´s.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Truelie Telling has been making up tunes since she was in the crib, so she arrived here with a big catalog of original songs. She plays guitar and sings in a rambling rumbling vocal style that has been compared to every chick singer from the '40s to the '00s, but doesn't really sound like anyone else.

She loves Second Life and has been writing songs about it since she first moved here in December of 2007, so you can expect to hear songs about rl and sl - although sometimes she's confused about which is which. She calls herself a countrypunkfolkjazzcomedyrock performer who has overcome her classical training, with the heart of an old hippy happily inhabiting a much younger, much more beautiful avvie.

Avatar Quinzet (RL Quintin Stephens) got an early start on dulcimer at the age of eight and has played and given workshops on the instrument for more than 34 years. Along the way, he also got sideswiped by a rogue dobro guitar. Starting off playing Carter Family-style, he was seduced by the dark side and discovered Blues/Rock and Delta Slide Blues music. Bringing many of the techniques and tricks over from guitar to the dulcimer, Avatar is especially recognized for his double-stop and two-handed-tapping techniques. He has no qualms about freely adapting styles to create the music he hears in his head.

A 34-year veteran of the RL music business, Avatar is often described as a nod to the traditional with one finger on the Photon Disruptor! From traditional folks songs of early America to smokin' hot originals, Avatar delivers all on his dulcimer with his distinctly "back-beat" feel that gets everyone up and moving! Or, with his blues music covering such greats as Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Jefferson, Josh White and John Lee Hooker, to modern blues musicians like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Avatar delivers all with his trusty acoustics by his side like a good pair of Colts. His shows cover a lot of ground musically while switching between all these instruments.

Shannon Oherlihy (Shannon McMahon in rl) is a singer/songwriter/ guitar player based in Stratford, CT.

When she was nine, she got her first guitar, and started writing her own songs at the age of ten. Inspired by the music of John Denver, Gordon Lightfoot, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins and Bob Dylan, Shannon found her musical roots in contemporary folk.

Clarice Karu grew up in a musical family and the rest of her siblings enjoyed family time and everyone singing the old favorites. Clarice stopped singing for a number of years but started again and has since found her niche in jazz. She loves to sing and hopes you enjoy the feelings and emotions she brings through her music.

JueL Resistance (Suzen JueL in rl), is a self taught musician who has been performing since she was 13 years old. She has perfected the weaving of her mind’s eye and heart’s passion into lyrical paintings richly embedded with emotional hues from her personal experiences. Her lyrics feed the listener’s soul and stirs the heart and sentiment of any who have been privileged to hear her perform them. Her creative roots are deeply entrenched in a family of french musicians, artists and writers.

Her Grampa Jule made a guitar in 1967, that he later gave her when she showed a keen interest in music. With her newfound passion she began writing and playing at every opportunity. Her style and sound have been compared, both lyrically and vocally, to such legendary greats as Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, Sue Foley, Leonard Cohen, Janis Joplin, Mazzy Star, Curt Cobain as well as a generous handful of other talented acoustic musicians.

Dann Numbers (Dann Russo in rl)"is attempting to become SL's first prophet of rock and soul, rocking his acoustic all over the place." Dann is a little alt, a little classic, a smidge country and all rock. He’s a singer-songwriter with radio-ready original songs and a live show so electric, you’ll be amazed it’s just acoustic. A "soon to be phenomenon" (NorthEast In-Tune Magazine), Dann is a lively act that’s hard to follow.

Dann has become one of the more popular acts in Second Life, complete with over-filling venues and crashing servers! These shows' locations are listed as "other" on the calendar at http://www.sonicbids.com/dannrusso and are Pacific Time, streaming from the confines of his basement to computer speakers around the world.

Lyndon Heart ("not that other" George Michael in rl) belts out with vocal styles that spans a diverse range of airy-textured ballads, roaring, gritty-edged power rock, reinterpretations of contemporary hits, and avant-garde indie lesser-knowns... George's music runs the gamut. As such, his guitar method evolves, incorporates and keeps pace by embracing a range of techniques from intricate open-tuned finger picking and gentle slides to crunchy blues riffs and experimental funk. He has collaborated and contributed to over 40 US recordings and shared stages with performers such as Shania Twain, Brooks & Dunne, Tanya Tucker and Dan Seals as well as The Average White Band and Loudin Wairight III.
