Mimi Carpenter is a dynamic young French singer who is passionate about music and currently living in Holland. She is playing guitar and sings since September 2006 both in English and French.
Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of musical styles, Mimi is pretty eclectic and her repertoire includes covers with strong rock, indie and pop influences, accompanied by acoustic guitar.

" I wish to transmit what I feel through my music... It is for me a way to express myself as I am not so good in handling words, when I have to speak about myself and about what I feel..."
Tonight at Buddy's Bar your in for a treat as the fantastic Frets Nirvana make's he's Debut on the Buddy's stage...a show not to be missed, hes not called Frets for nothing..
Frets Nirvana grew up in the rock and roll city of Cleveland, Ohio and in his good old band days could be seen hanging out and playing in clubs with the likes of Joe Walsh, James Gang, Phil Keaggy and Glass Harp.
While playing guitar for as long as he can remember, his love of the instrument has developed into a focus on acoustic fingerstyle guitar.
His music interests are wide. At any moment in time you can hear him playing something from Merle Travis, Chet Atkins or Jerry Reed and then moving on to old Delta type blues tunes, picking up a resonator guitar to play slide, then playing an arrangement of a classic Beatles tune.
Frets feels that life is too short to experience one genre of music and as a result his playing keeps the listener interested by offering a variety that demands Frets constantly concentrate on improving his skills. Of course his old rock and roll roots still come out now and then as well! If you like good instrumental music and you like guitar then check Frets out in his new life in Second Life! You are guaranteed an enjoyable music experience!

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...
