AJ Humptey @ Nysa Valley and Suzys Rendezvous 03/02

I found out today that there is more to live music in SL than just rock, blues and country. Today I found out there is also AJ Humptey. Landing at Nysa Valley and Suzy’s Rendezvous my breath was taken away by the sound of AJ singing You Raise Me Up, such a huge song that requires a vocal range to match and match it he did. I was spellbound from the moment my stilettos hit the ground. To me AJ’s voice is so rich, and complex it’s like a full-bodied red wine with tones of sweetness and sadness mixed in. Such is the beauty in it that I could have easily been mistaken into believing that I listening to the likes of Andrea Bocelli and indeed a lot of the songs AJ sang today were sang to the backing of a choir. Going from his bio singing with and in a choir is something that has always been part of his real life. At times it was a bit crackly, which in AJs words was due to terrible French internet but I for one didn’t mind as his performance was of such high quality. Keep an eye on events and if you get a chance go see him, it’s well worth an hour of your time.
