An indie gal all the way, NANCE walks her own path. Having played the physical stages for what seemed like an eternity says NANCE, endless touring, equipment lugging and empty hotel rooms. NANCE is the first of a new breed of exclusive live online performers. She now solo performs live concerts on the net, primarily in the fantastic live streamed music venues that have been created in the virtual world of Secondlife.com, enjoying a truly international audience!

There is probably nobody in SecondLife that plays and sings with as much honesty as KevinBear Watanabe. You will wind up floating with him and you will find yourself not wanting it to end. It is a rare treat to have the opportunity to hear him perform.
** 9pm SLT – MOONDOGGIRL MOOMINTOOG **
Moondoggirl was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota…the sparkling Land of 10,000 Lakes. She cut her teeth on folk, lost my innocence to rock, grooved on jazz, and came of age with country. The passion for writing has always been in her bones. She began her trips to Nashville several years ago when she realized that writing had become a way of life. In December 2006 she made a permanent move to Nashville.

The art was lively, and the company grand. Tosung’s use of the female form is colorful and full of movement. Tosung is an artist to watch in the Second Life art community, he is currently working on another installment in the Flowers series, and Female Business Leaders in Second Life, and a series of Landscapes. Willum Tosung’s work can be viewed month long at the Gallery.
