Strum Diesel @ The Roof – February 20, 2013


Of all the musicians in SL, Strum is my favorite.  He’s the second musician I ever saw, having stumbled upon one of his concerts on February 27, 2010.  I only saw a few minutes of his concert that day, but those few minutes made me an instant fan.  I became good friends with him as well.

Strum has the highest energy out of all the musicians in SL, or at least he’s the most enthusiastic.  He pays attention to local chat, greets people as they come in, and is appreciative of every single tip he receives.  His songs are thought provoking and inspiring not because of the subjects he writes about, but because they inspire me and every single person who attends his concerts.

Strum’s concert at The Roof tonight was absolutely fantastic.  The highlight of the concert for me was a bluesy rendition of “Mother Earth”.  You could hear the sincerity in his voice and the energy he gave to the song.  He puts every single bit of emotion he has into each song.  The Roof is owned by Lingual Markus, who brings awesome musicians to the venue twice a week on Monday and Wednesday nights.  There’s also an art gallery below the venue that you should check out.

If you want to catch one of Strum’s concerts, check out his calendar at https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=f3mipth9660tf2m8qrh5ik3qms@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York&gsessionid=OK .  You won’t be disappointed!
