Skye Galaxy/Sean Ryan is Back Singing in Second Life Again

"Sean released a self-produced EP under the pseudonym Apollo's Child. In September 2009, he was featured alongside Belgian producer Pole Folder on the single Hollow. The track, remixed by Robert Babicz, debuted on Pete Tong's Essential Selection (BBC Radio 1) and episode 290 of Trance Around the World with Above & Beyond. Polish trance producer Nitrous Oxide released a track featuring Sean on vocals for their studio album Dreamcatcher in April 2010 entitled Come Into My World.  Sean would later co-write tracks for ATB's Distant Earth, All I Need Is You and Killing Me Inside in April 2011, followed by When It Ends It Starts Again and Straight to the Stars for the album Contact in January 2014 which peaked at No. 1 on the Polish Music Charts."

Skye Galaxy (Sean) is the music sensation known for sold out crowds in SL and who seemed to sort of disappear off the grid music scene for a few years, reportedly for First Life adventures in the music world.  Today I received notice Skye would be singing at Key West today 2-8-15 at Key West at 2pm SLT.  So about a quarter till I tried to get in and the sims were full with capacity at about 96 avatars with some hovering (like myself) on neighboring sims.  This is how I stood or rather hovered over the watering sim divider camming in for photos and sound.  Skye got off to a slow start with technical difficulties.  The crowd was patient and even 20 minutes later with no real music I still could not get into the sim due to it being at capacity. I was a little surprised 100 avatars would remember Skye and come so early.  I guess I should have known this would happen based on his past success. Skye is known for his beautiful voice, piano music, and specifically ballads that make all women and many men simply swoon.  I've blogged him before. His SL manager is Lo Bloch.


 According to his add board it appears he will be making some more SL appearances in the near future.  I took a pic of it so you can see the schedule for future use. Plus his profile actually says: "Status: Active ➀ I am regularly AFK ➁ Inquiries may be forwarded to Lo Bloch, but note that I am completely booked—see below for dates ➂ Links and other information are located in Picks Upcoming Shows: February 8, 2:00 pm SLT, The Keys February 15, 12:00 pm SLT, The Refuge February 15, 3:00 pm SLT, The Boom Pony February 22, 3:00 pm SLT, Seaside Lounge March 15, 3:00 pm SLT, Templemore March 22, 3:00 pm SLT, The Pier"

About 30 minn later the crowd thinned to 90 and I was able to cross the boarder and get in. I stayed back a ways in hopes of remaining stable but about that time he was singing and sounded just amazing as I remember. Even better, as his voice sounds a little more mature. The ballads rolled and the crowed and I were more than pleased.    I've listened to Skye in SL since he started. He said he has a little more free time right now to sing.  He played over 30 minutes to make up for the time it took him to get his stream up and running.    

Flood Relief Benefit for Cypress Rosewood

This evening I joined over 80 other avatars in the French Quarter sim to enjoy some back to back live music by some of SL's most popular musicians raising donations for Cypress Rosewood, whose home has been ravaged by the TN flooding. I made a short vid of one of my favs Skye Galaxy and a friend of mine, Kolor Fall, who were up consecutively. By the time I left there was almost $400,000L in the tips jars and more music left in the lineup to come.

Cypress himself showed up for a short time and talked about how he was away from home when his wife and daughter had to rush to leave the house, how he had seen a black crow just prior and wondered if it was a sign, how a special guitar was saved when many thigs around it were a total loss, and some of his observations and feelings about the flooding. He said he most likely would not be able to be back in full swing in SL for a few weeks because of the flooding and losses. I previously had a note telling how the flooding was up to the window sills in his home. I'm sure this is a very traumatic time for him and his family and hope everyone has a chance to donate to this gentleman who has been very supportive of SL musicians.

There will be another live music benefit 5-8-10 from 4 to 12 SLT at The Pocket Freestar Bay Isle/216/32/24.. At 7:45 SLT Azar Shelman, friend to Cypress (Tony Dyson, the man who built R2D2 RL) will do a Q&A session annd pass out gifts to the audience. Another artist I look forward to seeing is ColeMarie Soliel at 6pm SLT.

If you haven't heard Cypress before, he's a RL/SL live musician himself and a RL/SL radio host. To tip direction go to: http://www.Cypressrosewood.com

Below is a quick little vid I took between crashes with the newly installed updated viewer and yes I did overlap Skye's music becuase I thought it was cool and he hit the high notes.
