Effinjay and more


Caught their show March 5.15 and was blown away by the light hearted fun, and the great musical delight they provided fans.  Jeremy Works (Frogg) has an amazingly soothing voice, I don't think it would have mattered what he was singing, I simply mellowed out and flowed with his dreamy voice.
They provided me with a bio, that I am simply going to cut and paste for you.
You have Bass guitarist Erik Anthony to thank for this find, he invited me to join him and I did.  Thank YOU Erik!

Effinjay Biography

Growing up just down the street from each other in Eugene, Oregon, a small northwestern town known for its arts subculture, Jeremy Works (Frogg) and Marc lePine (Jaycatt) only started playing music together after joining Second Life. Before that, Frogg was hosting an open mic for the local music community, and 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 popular Friday night performances have been running regularly since July 2005 around Second Life, occasionally still taking place at their home base, Amphibicatt Gardens.  They have a loyal listener base, and entertain and delight the live music lovers of Second Life, playing on average 5 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, but also a few selected covers. Frogg studied vocal music from middle school through 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 Simon and Garfunkle, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, and Mannheim Steamroller.

asked what he likes to play- [19:32] Bard Wasp: oh a bit of everything...   I start most sets out with Jump and maybe a swing tune ... then move into contemporary stuff.. boogies.. shuffles, rumbas.. then slow blues.    I pioneered  the long slow blues sets here.  ..note he was just voted 2nd best DJ in SL, we all know that there is really no 1st and 2nd. only one could be first, so that he made it on the list, says a lot. 

This evening, Sunday he will be doing acoustic stuff, cool and moody... maybe too late now for you to catch this gig, but the man is set up to please you. Check him out and join his group if you want more.
