Reaching within himself for an appreciation of rich and eclectic musical traditions, Tukso Okey is an original -- a musical genre unto himself. From a small lad, Tukso took in the music the urban world around him, and he has turned it around to give it back to us with richness and a robust passion. CHECK OUT TUKSO'S NEW VIDEO BELOW
He plays solo but, with the assistance of electronics, he builds before us music that soon have us believing that we are listening to a full band with percussion, bass, and rhythm. And then he jams with a raw lead guitar and a hard earthy vocal quality that can reach very different places in each person who listens. Come feel the experience, shake it up, and then spread the word... Each show is different, you will never hear the same set twice!
THIS IS HOW TUKSO OKEY PLAYS AND STREAMS INTO SECOND LIFE...

From the deep south.....of England, hails Ziffy Zarf, bringing to you blues harmonica, singing & foot-stompin' back porch style. Influenced primarily by Sonny Terry & the two Walters (Big & Little), Ziffy is interested in continuing the old styles of the blues, while adding his own melodic edge.
