Balley Bernard

Balley's musical influences can be traced back to his childhood, where his grandmother encouraged him to sing along with record albums and practice simple scales on toy pianos. Early influences include popular jazz and folk artists such as Bob Dylan, Peter Paul and Mary, CCR, The Beatles, and many others. Later influences included the music of progressive artists like Yes, and Genesis and more currently, alternative artists like Deathcab for Cutie, Dishwalla, and Damien Rice. Balley has followed popular music throughout his life, singing and playing his guitars for himself, his friends, and his family. As a 3+ year resident of SL and an avid SL Live Music Fan, Balley now brings himself to the stage to share his music with the SL community.
