Second Life singer-songwriter Leslee McCarey (known in real-life music circles as Leslie McKay) is a Pacific Northwest native who blends folk, contemporary and classical influences into a powerful personal statement. Her diverse original material covers the full emotional spectrum, from sensitive love song to rollicking slice-of-life humor, from good-time toe-tappers to thoughtful mood-pieces. Leslie's clean acoustic guitar and sophisticated piano provide a backdrop for her dynamic contralto vocals.

Leslie performs at a variety of venues in Second Life (www.secondlife.com), with information avaiable about upcoming gigs at her website, www.lesliemckay.com, and via Twitter (twitter.com/lesliemckay). She has performed at festivals, conferences, coffee houses, noisy bars and kitchens from Seattle to Santa Fe, including appearances in Spokane, Portland and San Francisco. Appearances in the Northwest have included the Northwest Folklife Festival, Oregon Folklife Festival, Ballard Seafood Fest, and the Seattle Wooden Boat Show.
