Jordan Reyne’s Musical Performances Span The Digital Divide

Jordan Reyne hails from New Zealand, although these days she lives in London, England. Jordan spends time singing in Second Life and like many a Second Life performer she has busy weekends, for example next weekend Jordan’s Second Life performance schedule reads :

Then Jordan takes a break, not returning to Second Life until Friday 10th April. However it’s what Jordan does during that break that may surprise those unfamiliar with her work. Whilst Jordan may not be performing in the virtual world of Second Life, she will actually be performing real gigs in places such as Leipzig in Germany and Warsaw in Poland. Late in the year Jordan will be appearing in the UK, Portugal and Germany and in between those dates she comes back to Second Life to perform there too.

Some of Jordan’s artwork on her record covers and her costumes actually look like something you’d expect to see inside Second Life. Jordan’s performances outside of the virtual world have earned some glowing praise, Cat On The Wall Music and Culture Magazine said :

Jordan Reyne – and I do not mean this as idle praise – managed to provide one of the most extraordinarily fascinating live shows I have ever seen on stage. A far cry from the punk and alternative rock that was beginning to form a theme of this April’s event, she instead built up a series of haunting, beautiful Celtic folk songs that proved to be mesmerising in both subject and style.

Jordan’s website informs us :

Described by New Zealand’s National Radio as the author of a new sound, Jordan is a 3 time Tui Award (New Zealand Grammy) nominee, and has lent her voice to projects from Cafe Del Mar through to Lord of the Rings. A prolific writer and performer, she has seven internationaly acclaimed albums to her credit and has and toured the UK, Poland, Germany and New Zealand.

Jordan is an indie musician and there are a lot of good tips and information about being an indie musician on her blog, as well as podcasts and more.
