Frogg Marlowe and Jaycatt Nico booked!


Frogg Marlowe and Jaycatt Nico have officially been booked for August the 22nd at 4PM. They will be rockin' it out with all original music plus great covers of well known music.


Growing up just down the street from each other in Eugene, Oregon, a small northwestern town known for its arts
subculture, Frogg and Jaycatt (now roommates) only started playing music together after joining Second Life. Whilst Frogg was
hosting an open mic for the local music community, Jaycatt was working for a local utility company. Jaycatt discovered
SecondLife in June of 2005, and shortly afterwards Frogg joined him there and started playing
shows. Jaycatt began providing piano music breaks during Frogg's shows, but eventually these breaks
grew into longer sets, and that's when they began to collaborate.

Their regular Friday night performances have been running since July 2005, currently at Jaycatt’s venue ‘AmphibiCatt
Gardens’. The shows are extremely popular, and as well as having a large loyal fan base they entertain and delight the
live music lovers of Second Life, playing on average 6 live shows a week. Frogg and Jaycatt’s notoriety in SL has not
escaped the attention of the music industry and to date they have been interviewed by, amongst others, Rolling Stone
Magazine and MTV.

Their repertoire consists of mostly original material and a few selected covers. Frogg was a vocal jazz minor at college,
while Jay studied piano for 14 years, and together as singer/songwriters they have produced a comprehensive range of
heartfelt and memorable melodies and poetically lyrical songs. Musical influences range from Mannheim Steamroller, Simon
and Garfunkle, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and even Frank Zappa.
