News and updates Twilighters !

We have added a few more shows to finish out an awesome November and have begun to plan a December calender and have plans in the works for an awesome Christmas in the square!

So November 29th merchant's...residents begin to deck your halls !!!! You never know when a Twilight elf will drop something good down your chimney!

Now lets talk about our club schedule...

We have added our favorite and old friend and popular Second Life blues man, Kelvinblue Oh on November 19th at 3 PM SLT.
"It ain't the blues if you ain't paid the dues."
And Kevin Allen Navy sure has paid his fair share.
But no litany of woes for this bluesman, though.
For Kevin, the blues are a celebration of life, an affirmation that at the end of the journey is salvation.

November 22nd at 3 PM SLT a newcomer to Twilight Blues and Jazz as well as Second Life but absolutely not a newcomer to music , we welcome Jukebox Diesel to our stage.
Jukebox Diesel is a newcomer to SL and currently performs, mostly 6 string acoustic guitar based cover songs with the occasional ,original instrumental thrown in to the set.The following are some examples of the artists that Juke covers.
John Martyn, Damien Rice, The Blue Nile, Paul Brady, Ani DiFranco, Kelly Joe Phelps, Iron and Wine, Dire Sraits, Richard Thompson, Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, The Stones, Billy Joel, Bread, Thomas Dybdahl, Bob Marley and Was(not was), to name a few. Drawing from a long and varied musical background, Jukes style of playing for Sl will be mostly a soft played fingerpicking acoustic Guitar to accompany his voice.
In RL, he has been playing acoustic and electric guitar for many years and is a keen bass guitar player and drummer/percussionist. Having played in numerous bands in his native Scotland, Juke has also worked as a studio session musician, a sound designer for film and continues to write and produce music for other people from his studio at home. He also teaches multitrack recording at his local college and is keen to work with musicians and sound engineers/producers from all musical backgrounds and styles.

Another newcomer to our stage on November 25th at 6 PM SLT , Mr Trowzer Boa joins us for the 1st time but not the last, Trowzer joins our regular line up once a month on every 4th Tuesday! I'm very excited to have him join us and I think you will be as well! He brings his *Robot Band * with him :) .
RL saxophonist/composer Dave Renz. Dave Renz performs on the east Coast, playing mainly acoustic jazz. For information about his latest projects and products check him out at http://www.daverenz.com. (You can listen to samples and buy original music there, and find out when he will be in your area!)
The Robot Band symbolizes the music programs used to create the sounds you hear tonight...any voice and sax you hear is me, live...any other sound is created through a series of software packages. Working with the robot band allows me to provide a great sound in sl, yet still play my instrument live and spontaneously.
"It is my hope that as I gain comfort with the technology we will bring a variety of jazz related music to SL, including cooperative projects with other live SL musicians from across the globe."
Saxophonist Trowzer Boa plays jazz in SL, incorporating styles he's played in rl for the past 20 years...funk/blues/world music/jazz, all come together in a funky danceable set.
Backed by the Robot Band (his concept comes to second life thanks to designer Prim Chemistry), Trowzer captures the essence of spontaneous jazz and the funky fun nature of second life in one dynamic show.
Packed with original songs and surprising covers as you've never heard them, every set is different....listen, dance, enjoy! His rl and sl recordings are a staple in the rotation of DJ VJ Shojo.
Because of his vast performing and recording experiences in rl, Trowzer will put together a show that's right for you and your venue...from funky alto smooth grooves to smokey swinging tenor...from hip-hop to samba, the shows reflect the venue where they are performed.
