Xander

Yesterday was a lucky day, we were introduced to the talented Xander Nichting, Electric Violinist. He was at the Xmas Market @ Angel Manor Estates. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife//8/217/22

Our own Steve Who, caught me on, and invited me to join him.. What a bonus event to an already busy day. It is always good to listen to one’s intuition, I had not intended on logging on, but I did, and voila, thanks to Steve, we now all know about another fantastic artist.

I met up with Xander’s manager Lilia Clarity who sent me some background info on Xander. Here is a link to a website MySpace: http://www.MySpace.com/XanderNichting. Xander is violinist, solo-artist, musical director, composer and arranger, whose music covers all styles and influences from Classical, Swing, Jazz, New Age, R&B, Celtic, Bluegrass, and World Folk.

For bookings and to find out his schedule .. contact Lilia Docherty

Thanks Steve!

With the holidays, check Steve’s calendar for his dates and times. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_sFuqXUiE04US1xrUT7SDZbQpoql-IDph0t4ImEmOuI/edit#gid=129089261 Better still join his group, then you won’t miss any of this “performances”

Mark your calendars, another saxophonist, Trow Boa, will be back at Nat’s Jazz Club next Tuesday, Dec. 28th.- you can work off all that turkey, pudding and egg nog while dancing on one of the best dance floors on the grid.

Trow Boa at Nat’s

Start the holiday week off with your favourite performer, Trow Boa, (saxophonist) what better way to kick off a busy week .. Trow has a set to have you “rocking” around the Xmas tree, he’ll put you in the mood for all that’s good and merry. All you need to do is get to the club on time, his set starts at 5 slt (Second Life) Monday Dec. 20th.

He’ll be at Nat’s Jazz Club of course, taxi supplied.. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Detroit%20City/68/191/22

OK now we know we are going to Nat’s tomorrow, what to wear. We’ve found this delightful designer who has a style all her own.

She does have a retail show however .. I had more fun looking through all her inventory on Marketplace. I’ll be wearing one of her outfits at Nat’s Jazz club tomorrow, you’ll have to drop over to see which one finally won me over.

Taxi to Raggs http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Valhalla%20Estates%20Management/66/188/22 here is the trick to finding the shop, when you get there, go to the furthest set of stairs, turn left when you reach the club dance floor. The Raggs boutique is off the public area. or go to Marketplace and type in Raggs… =^_^=

Linda the owner of Nat’s Jazz Club is always a picture of elegance, Lylah, Trow’s lovely assistant, is another head turner, come on ladies, show up and shine! btw. if you are new to Nat’s, or just want to stay up to date with where Trow is playing, ask Lylah for a group invite… Although she is usually very good at getting to you first.

Support the club, Linda is a strong supporter of Live entertainment in SL. You’ll see the big shoe to the left of where she stands, her left, your right !!

Nat’s Jazz Club

An evening out at Nat’s Jazz Club means, refined dining, dancing, friends catching up, great entertainment, all in an atmosphere that invites you to relax and simply enjoy.

You’ll find an international crowd, everyone is there to enjoy … to kick back and relax either on their own or with friends

How do we support and ensure that the clubs we enjoy not only survive, but thrive. We all know the performers have tip boards, most venues also have a tip jar out. At Nat’s its the big shoe that is usually off to Linda’s left. In Trow’s set up, he has a big board off in the background with his Robot band. (Trowzer Boa -performer – Sax)

Last night was another successful evening of great music. Were you part of the experience.. psst Nat’s is a great place to meet up with other musicians and performers its one of “the” places to hang out =^_^= you didn’t hear it here — (is that JC Farstrider and his gorgeous wife .. oohhh and is that Speelo “cutting the rug”) (the tall blonde is an artist from Arizona, the mystery man is visiting from Scotland and… lol ) Telling you.. check this place out!
