Once upon a time there was a real life band called Nicholls, Llewellyn and MacCarthy whose music had just about come to an end. This place, this SecondLife (SL) gave us the chance to do our music together again. And so it was that Somerset, Oh & Rhode was born. This website, this place SecondLife, our songs, is the story of our music. Welcome in.
SOAR began gigs in SL in March 2009 playing their own compositions and by the end of 2011 had played 170 original songs in over 620 concerts at venues across secondlife.
Varying described as the bad boys of ballads and the masters of moooshiness SOAR shows ranged between the purest of acoustic ballads and rockier sets featuring backing tracks, and always fun, sweet and moving, and with a generous helping of mayhem and we hope, songwriting splendors.
SOAR took a break at the beginning of 2012 but Bright will continue to share the songs of SOAR in solo gigs in SecondLife.
SOAR thanks these wonderful secondlife venues and their owners and managers for the opportunity to play . Without you there would be no music -
