Artemisia: Living with Art

The residents of Artemisia are happy to present live music two nights a week:

• Saturdays at 7:00 PM: MrMulti “Mic” Writer (pajamas optional)

• Sundays at 6:00 PM: Shannon Oherlihy

MrMulti “Mic” Writer writes thoughtful, reflective lyrics, adding smooth melodies with flowing harmony. His music is always easy on the ears with lyrics that can be probing, personal and psychological, yet written so that we can use the symbolism and find the message within. The songs are about relationships, love, life, death, the future and the past. Great covers and astoundingly good originals with guitar and keyboard.

Shannon Oherlihy‘s voice is pure feeling, soft and sensual with tones resonating from a calming celtic peace. Her songs are soul-baring testimonies to love, loss and living one day at a time.  Inspired by the music of John Denver, Gordon Lightfoot, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins and Bob Dylan, Shannon found her musical roots in contemporary folk and the Treehouse is the perfect place for an intimate house concert with this beautiful artist.

Whirli Placebo is an amazing new singer-songwriter in SL who is really making an impression. He has been called eclectic, strange, neurotic… Be among the first to discover this artist who can be melancholy, sentimental, upbeat, downbeat, or just beat… Folk-rock-blues influenced originals and covers with a Whirli twist.

NOTICE: The Treehouse at Artemisia is looking for a manager! It’s a pretty simple job, really. We book acts and get the word out. What we really need is someone to handle the publicity and to play host at the events. We have two acts regularly booked every week. We don’t particularly need more unless you want to manage it. The Treehouse would basically be your space to book. This is not a paid position, but you can keep the venue tips for events you host. IM FreeWee Ling for info, or email freeweel@gmail.com.

We all had such a fine time in the Treehouse at Artemisia last Friday, we decided to do it again. And again maybe! Mic loves the intimate Treehouse venue, with lots of snuggly places and romantic dances and the secret box of chocolates.. mmmmmm.. What a fine way to wind down after a busy week.

Artemisia is about living with art. The residents of Artemisia support the galleries and recreational areas and the Treehouse club in order to live in a vital, creative place. We invite you to enjoy a great evening of fun and fine music and to explore the wonders of our island. Maybe you’ll want to live here too!

We have had some of the top performers in SL in the Treehouse Club on Artemisia. Freestar Tammas, Montian Gilruth, Harper Messmer, Matthew Perreault, and others. But the club has been pretty quiet the last few months as we have concentrated on getting the Galerie de la Vie on solid footing. I was thinking about having a regular DJ night in the Treehouse and I still might. But my friend Brigette Auer managed to hook me up with something even better!

MrMulti “Mic” Writer will grace our circle on Friday night at 7 PM SLT.

MrMulti "Mic" Writer

Mic is the Artist-In-Residence at Second Life’s  Tranquil Cafe. His music is quintessentially smooth. No jarring mosh pits here, but rather a fine way to chill after a hectic work week. Mic plays and sings the greats — Steely Dan, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Beatles , and newer ones  too, like Switchfoot, Matchbox 20, the Weepies — all play backup inspiration to Mic’s thoughtful, reflective originals  with intelligent  lyrics and flowing harmonies. Whether you’re feeling especially romantic or just need to get off the treadmill and discover the joy of great music, come on up to the Treehouse. Check out some of Mic’s great tunes on his MySpace site. Don’t forget to come early or stay late and explore Artemisia. We have simply scads of cool stuff to see and do!
