About

Growing up just down the street from each other in Eugene, Oregon, a small northwestern town known for its arts subculture, Frogg (Jeremy Works) and Jaycatt (Marc lePine), 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 finally began to collaborate.

Their regular Friday night performances have been running for two years now, 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 SecondLife, 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 include Mannheim Steamroller, Simon and Garfunkle, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Frank Zappa.
