FunkyFreddy Republic

September 24, 6pm

He sings both original songs and covers of other classic artists such as Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Neil Young, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, and others.

Fred's interpretations and guitar stylings are unique to SL, and in RL Fred has mixed, composed, and performed music for TV, film, etc., as well as working with many other interesting artists.

Montrealer Moody

September 17, 7pm

John McCabe returned to Second Life to do another concert on the Ridge, following Montian Gilruth Wednesday night.

He claims to be "just someone in Montreal that loves to play guitar" - "just" kind of implies that there's nothing special about his talent. Wrong. John is an amazingly talented guitarist - spiced up with a quirky sense of humour and a choice of tunes that you don't often hear.

Ayden Kruh

September 10, 2008, 6pm

Ayden is a musician and a mystic at heart. He approaches life with an open mind, firmly rooted in his identity. As a singer/songwriter, he combines new folk/americana influences with neo-soul vocal melodies to share his take on life, love, faith, pain, ect.

Grace McDunnough

September 10, 2008, 7pm

Metaversian, geek, bard, songwriter, live musician and completely hopeless romantic, Grace returned to the Ridge with a rollicking rendition of Santa Baby that went over very well in spite of isp issues (Happy Birthday Santa!) - Grace's performances are always special.

Snow Gretzky

August 29, 2008, 5pm

An impromptu gig (often the best kind), a bunch of great folks showed up with little notice on a busy night - the Ridge was rockin' to the sound of Snow's guitar. Plugged. Oh yeah! :-)

JellyJellyJelly Benelli

August 20, 2008, 6pm

Jelly describes herself as "a closet songwriter who got tired of singing to the hangers." Like many of the best that SL has to offer, she is too modest! Groove to Jelly's down-to-earth folksy-bluesy sound in the misty setting of Nitida Ridge - far from any closets!

Etherian Kamaboko performs live acoustic/electric Roots, Blues, Americana, Classic Rock, Folk and Foo Grass style of music with vocals, harmonica, and electric and acoustic guitars. His music is heard regularly in Second Life .

Chronic Skronski, Mimi Carpenter & Snow Gretzky

August 18, 2008, 6pm

Mimi's visiting Canada and wherever she goes, local sl musicians seem to gravitate to her. She played with Max and Dolmere in Toronto, Montian Gilruth in Montreal, and this time it was Snow and Chronic in Kingston. Thanks to Evilynda Baphomet for offering to host as I knew I'd be tied up on the RL side of this concert, and to Gillian Carthage who pitched in as well :-)

Mimi Carpenter with Montian Gilruth

August 13, 2007

Mimi's visiting, from across the pond! Both regulars on the Ridge, and both taking a short break from performing, she and Monti decided to return together for this evening and jammed at Monti's for a very special performance Wednesday night that began at 6 and lasted until after 8:30pm. We had both our Mimi fix, and our Monti fix - all at once!
