Hotel Chelsea (04.07.26)

First Tuesday of the month, you'll find me onstage at Hotel Chelsea. Photo by Kat.

Continuing our series of very brief show reports, we had a good one Tuesday night at Hotel Chelsea. My musical theme, inspired by the exciting Artemis II space mission, involved songs that reference space. Good idea, huh?

Lutz City of Templemore (04.05.26)

I love every single venue at Lutz City of Templemore. Photo by Kat.

Continuing our series of brief show reports... I'm not sure I've ever mentioned the fact that when I get booked to perform live music at Lutz City of Templemore, I don't know which of the many venues on that amazing sim I'll be playing. And quite often, it's one that I didn't know existed beforehand... or possibly didn't exist until some recent time. In any case, I often get to discover the venue about the same moment as my audience, and it's always a cool experience for everyone who visits there. Luis and his team there are just genius artisans and designers, using detailed textures and particles and lighting to build out a vibe like no other in SL.
