The Muses - Music Driven- Meet the DJs- A.B. Tucker Reporting ~ The SL Enquirer

“SL = One Nation Under a Groove” - Sugaree Rose.

In two wild and wonderful months, The Muses transformed from a sand platform on the mainland into a growing, thriving community. The driving force on this rollercoaster ride has been the DJs. The Muses’ DJs are fabulous: Rob Skytower, Grizzly Silversmith, Bre, Dave, Sugaree Rose, and Grougan Oxbar.

DJ Rob Skytower is a seasoned SL DJ who describes himself as a “classic rock, oldies, and more” DJ. Rob is well-known for his decade on the rock and metal circuit. More recently, he has ventured out a different direction. A friend encouraged Rob to try his hand at “ballroom” and today he has one of the most unique ballroom sets on the grid. Aerosmith, Frank Sinatra, Spandau Ballet, Herb Albert, Bob Seger, and Norah Jones might all be heard in the same hour.

DJ Rob likes being a “project DJ”. He will take an idea or a theme, find the right songs, weave the set together just so, and make magic. “I work well with managers, owners, and other staff to make sure that everyone, including guests, leaves my sets going ‘WOW, never heard those songs that way’.”

DJ Dave is the newest addition to the lineup, and The Muses was lucky enough to be his very first gig. He cut his DJ teeth at The Edge beach during one of the contest hours of fishing and raffles. Dave describes his music style as mostly country. He shares with us his music library of modern and classic country music.

DJ Bre ended a DJing hiatus to grace The Muses with her presence. Also working one of the contest hours, DJ Bre does blues, rock, country, and creates a great dance party. Bre admits, “doing mush” is a favorite DJ task, she loves spinning romance. She is gaining a reputation as a big “By Request” DJ, as Bre ends each set by asking the crowd what they want to hear the next week.

DJ Grougan Oxbar is another long-time SL DJ. He has worked in many genres, but his favorite and best is romance. His warm-brandy voice will melt you from the inside out. His smooth, ballroom romance style will have you dancing on air. In his non-DJ, SL life, Gro plays in a band and has started a singing career.

DJ Grizzly Silversmith has been spinning in iconic clubs across SL for twelve years. He has DJed and sung for several of SL’s annual birthday events. One of the best audiophiles on the grid, his sets are filled with the finest blues, country, and romance to be found. Currently, Grizz is bringing EVERYTHING BLUES to The Muses at Azure, a casual, oceanside nightclub.

DJ Grizz is a Second Life tour guide. Via hot air balloon and gondola rides, Grizz will introduce you to the regions and continents of SL. Outside of SL, Grizz has many hobbies, including podcasting. Look for Grizzly’s Growls podcasts!

DJ Sugaree has been written about in blogs, mentioned on internet radio, and it has been so aptly stated by another, “Her sets go down like velvet honey.” DJ Sugaree put her introduction in her own words. “People who come to my shows immediately comment on my voice. Music, and my voice, are gifts from God, and I try to bring love, joy, peace and friendship into my sets. I love Smooth anything! Funk and R&B, Motown, Disco, Oldies, or Romance music are the genres I am most familiar with.”

“I've been referred to as 'SL's Cover Queen', and I am biased toward cover songs! My collection of wonderful 'covers' comes mostly from my fans and listeners. I've been DJing in Second Life exclusively for seven years and I love it. I love the people I meet even more. I am currently playing from the Sugaree Songbook at The Muses. Come by, see for yourself. And Oh Yes, bring me a cover song!”

On Tuesday, DJ Dave is at The Edge beach, and DJ Rob takes over the ballroom. DJ Grizzly spins amazing blues on Wednesday. On Thursday Sugaree hosts a DANCE PARTY with a different theme every week. Friday has DJ Gro and DJ Sugaree doing back to back romance.

Saturday is DATE NIGHT with DJ Sugaree in Cristall. It’s a wonderful romantic set, and setting. DJ Rob rounds out the week at The Edge with his ROCK ON THE EDGE set, any style rock, rock from any decade, and it is never dull.

The Muses’ venues include Cristall, a romantic ballroom set inside a vintage champagne glass. Azure is a casual, oceanside nightclub that hosts almost any music genre. The Edge is a pristine beach with contest hours of 7Seas fishing tournaments and club-sponsored raffles, sailing, swimming, lounging, or some friendly competition on the game deck. Each venue is just a pretty build until our DJs bring them life with music.

The Muses has a subscriber that sends out a weekly schedule, or guests can join the group to get notices about all The Muses’ events. Come enjoy phenomenal DJs and incredible music. Follow Your Muse… to The Muses.
