Thursday:

6 pm - EvaMoon Ember - wicked funny singer/songwriter

Eva Moon skewers romance, sex, high tech and pop culture with smart, funny original songs. It's a tasty blend of Jazz, Cabaret & Comedy. If you've ever lost your heart to a chocolate bar, lusted after the UPS guy, or traded a man for a vibrator, she has a song for you.

In RL Eva Moon plays with her five-piece band, the Lunatics. In SL she performs with piano or backed up by quality recordings of her band. All originals. No covers.

"The musical equivalent of standup comedy" -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

7 pm - Wendy Curtiss - singer/songwriter with passion!

Wendy Curtiss is a consummate, seasoned, entertainer/singer/songwriter and guitarist. Her experiences have covered years and miles of travel. Starting out first, in the state of Connecticut, she eventually decided to settle in the state of Washington, after playing in California, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and Utah. She even did shows in tourist cities in Mexico!! For a period of 6 years, she traveled and worked with Hotel chains like Best Western and Holiday Inns, playing 6 nights a week and performing requests and the hits of the day. After tiring of the road and its lack of roots, she settled in the Seattle area of Washington and continued to perform regularly on a nightly basis.

Wendy has produced 4 CDs of original material, recording with the finest musicians the Northwest has to offer. Give her a listen. Her strong, soulful vocals and creative guitar style will capture your heart!
