I was thrilled when I was asked recently to perform at Orange Island, during the Second Life discussions on Virtual Culture, Music, Art...the debates were heavy at times, and a bit difficult to Keep on! Thanks to Nick Rhodes, Sukkubus, Jade Lily and all those involved in making me feel very welcome in their community! There were also discussions on Relay For Life (RFL) events, which I have been heavily involved in for the past 2 years, this will be my 3rd season with RFL and my first season with Haroldthe Burrels Raiders for a Cure team, which I am honored to be a part of! We have a great team of Survivors, musicians, artists, DJ's etc.....it is a team I am proud to represent this year, and have every intention of making it my best year Ever with RFL.
Last year, many of us lost a wonderful woman, FeL...she put smiles in our hears and souls and we shared many conversations on the phone before her passing.
2 hours or so before the world has lost her, in this dimension, on this planet...(because she is around, just not physically)...I wrote the song "Bright As Day" which was on last years Compilation CD, for RFL...I am touched every time I perform this song, as I have no doubt, that "Theresa" (FeL) had a big part in this song.....it was time for her to, and WOW did she put up a great Fight, never complaining, always thinking of others...her spirit will not be forgotten, we will pass your story on FeL!
Thanks again Orange Island.....thank you all of you for your wonderful support not only with my music, but the Community as a whole.
There was a great panel of musicians as well...touching on topics of 'Who we are in SL vs RL" and is there a difference? Immersion VS Augmentation, which it seems many were confused about as well as myself....however the discussions were full of new information...you can read more on the Link listed above!
Thanks again.........:)

Welcome to the Suzen "JueL" Resistance Fan Club BLOG!


Please allow me to introduce myself; my name is Suzen JueL, a.k.a. JueL Resistance. In my first post I'll leave you with official press biography and let you digest. I'll get back on here soon and we'll talk about everything from who JueL is to what I'll be doing next. Just remember, its all about the music. Peace & Love-- JueL


Suzen JueL a.k.a. JueL Resistance, is a self taught musician who has been performing since 1979. She has perfected the weaving of her mind's eye and heart's passion into lyrical paintings richly embedded with emotional hues from her personal experiences. Her lyrics feed the listener's soul and stirs the heart and sentiment of any who have been privileged to hear her perform them. Suzen "JueL" Resistance's creative roots are deeply entrenched in a family of french musicians, artists and writers. Her Grampa Jule made a guitar in 1967,that he later gave her when she showed a keen interest in music. With her newfound passion she began writing and playing at every opportunity. JueL moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1989 and enjoyed ten amazing, successful years playing at The Fine Line, The Loring Bar, Club Metro and numerous other cafes and coffeehouses. She recorded her first CD during that era and with high hopes waited for her star to rise. Soon after, she met and married her soulmate and became a stepmom to his 4 awesome boys who lived with them. As often happens in life, her ambitions were pushed to the back as she became a wife and mother to her new family. Years later with the boys grown, she found herself tickling the guitar strings once again. Her style and sound have been compared, both lyrically and vocally, to such legendary greats as Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, Sue Foley, Leonard Cohen, Janis Joplin, Mazzy Star, Curt Cobain as well as a generous handful of other talented acoustic musicians. As one of the first indie musicians to join and perform in Second Life, she has built a strong presence in the virtual world. A world where she is also known for her visual art work; her paintings, drawings and photography are displayed in various galleries throughout Second Life. In addition, she owns and performs at the infamous "Living Room #13" where she has headlined and hosted Naked Acoustic Sessions for almost 2 years, bringing in only the finest seasoned and raw musicians of SL. JueL is currently working on her latest CD while preparing for her 2nd adventure to Mahoneyfest in Georgia. Her latest work in progress is a compilation of both recent and past experiences blended soulfully into a deep groove of blues, americana, folk and "unplugged acoustics".
