The first time I visited Molaskey's Pub, it was Celtic music night. A friend had teleported me there, and BJ was DJing. I remember dancing. I believe Mia was hosting. I also believe that this was the night I started falling out of love with Divinity, another club I'd been frequenting. That's not a bad club, by the way, but when there are three or four couples dancing and you're the odd one out, you tend to feel more alone than usual. So my friend rescued me. Strangely enough, I ended up slow-dancing at Molaskey's with someone I hadn't met before. No, we didn't hook up or anything, but events circle around in interesting ways.
Wait, that was my first time there? Yeah. Yeah, I guess it was.
At some point, I joined the group there, and soon found myself going to many a live concert there. Hunts are habit forming. Live music is addictive. And Molaskey's books great live music three days a week! I spend a lot of time there, an easy thing to do between the staff (all of whom are very welcoming, and fun to converse with, though I haven't spoken as much to Nasus and Apple for some reason), the music, and the sim itself. The pub, the beach, the floating stage, the ice rink where the winter concerts are held… It's beautiful.
Anyway, today's concert included AMForte Clarity, an acoustic guitarist and vocalist with an excellent pop voice. I hadn't heard her before, and enjoyed her sense of humor. And her Alanis Morissette covers. Looking forward to hearing her again!
AMForte on stage at the ice rink. I do believe that's Katydid (co-owner of the pub) in red!
I also got to hear Maximillion Kleene, who I have heard before. I love his voice, and his sense of humor. He draws a crowd, and there's a reason for that! Between the covers and the originals… Gotta love Max!
And there is Max on stage, with his cow tip jar. (I love that tip jar.)
Sunday's show was interesting in that both AMForte and Max are from Canada. Don't get me wrong, some of my favorite musicians are from the south (and the pub has introduced me to quite a few of them!), but as a Yankee who has never been farther in that direction than about Morgantown, musicians who know what real snow looks like are somehow relatable in a different way. No, I don't know why, either.
So that's my favorite live music venue on Second Life. Hope to see you there!
