A growing music scene has landed in the virtual world. Music fans are tuning into virtual communities such as Second Life to hear new musicians from around the world perform live concerts. Shiger Seattle is a popular singer/songwriter in Second Life. He hails from Raleigh, NC, and has been performing live virtual concerts in Second Life for three years. Shiger (she-ger) has built a global following in the virtual community and has been selected to perform at the Second Life Community Convention in Chicago in 2007. Shiger Seattle’s success in Second Life has enabled him to release his self-titled debut CD. The collection of new rock acoustic-based songs blends rock, alternative and blues influenced music. The independent disc was recorded at Osceola Studios in Raleigh, NC. The recording studio is well known as a Southeastern powerhouse and has recorded the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Velvet Revolver among many others. The CD was recorded by producer Dick Hodgin (Hootie and the Blowfish, Cravin' Melon, Flat Duo Jets) and mixed by Grammy-nominated Ian Schreier. The new CD features Shiger Seattle on vocals and acoustic guitar, Barry Briggs on electric guitar, Leo Kishore on bass and recent 96 Rock (WBBB-FM) drum-off champion Matt Spinak.
