blueron clyburn

Ok... you found Blueron Clyburn here on SL. Well, Blue didn't pop out of the blue.. Forty years of journeyman musicianship backs up this SL avi.

A journey that has taken him from Buffalo NY where he formed his first group around a folk, early jazz and blues tradition. Blue, then known as Ron, accompanied himself acoustic guitar.

A journey that took him to Boston, MA to study piano at New England Conservatory.

Blue spent a lot of years on the road honing his playing and singing in front of audiences all across the eastern United States from New England. to New Orleans. From the gulf coast of Florida to Dusseldorf, Germany audiences have been captivated by his very personal approach to each song he sings.

Since the 1980s, Blue has lived in and around New York City, playing regularly at The Bitter End, and Kenny's Castaways as well as many others venues ranging from CBGB's to the Blue Note.

Now you can hear for yourself, live on Second Life, just what all the fuss is about. Put on your ears and smile. Blueron is playing tonight!

Blue’s vocal & instrumental style is informed by jazz, blues, rock,and classic R&B.



Ok... ecco Blueron Clyburn qui in SL. Ma Blue non salta fuori dal nulla . Quaranta anni di vita on the road da musicista sono alle spalle di questo avatar di SL!.

Un viaggio che lo ha portato a Buffalo NY dove ha formato il suo primo gruppo che suonava  folk, early jazz e blues tradizionale.
Blue, allora conosciuto come Ron, si accompagnava con la sua chitarra acustica.


Un viaggio che lo ha portato a Boston, MA a studiare pianoforte  nel Conservatorio del New England.

Blue ha trascorso tanti anni  on the road levigando la sua maniera di suonare e di cantare di fronte ad un pubblico lungo tutta la costa orientale degli  States dal New England a New Orleans. Dalla Florida a Dusseldorf, anche in Germania il pubblico è stato catturato dal suo approccio personale ad ognuna delle canzoni che canta

Fino dal 1980, Blue has vissuto a New York City, suonando regolarmente al The Bitter End, ed al Kenny's Castaways o in altri club dal   CBGB's al Blue Note.

Adesso si puo ascoltare Blueron dal vivo in  Second Life..jazz, blues, rock,and classic R&B.
