Liam Wahwah Wakeman

The music management group of Whispering Sands Live Promotions does a great job promoting many SL musicians, both those they manage and others, and I've blogged them and their musicians, events, specials, etc many times, but while I've also blogged their Sunday evening open mic nights before, I want to say a little more.  They really do a fantastic job of offering opportunities for new and up and coming musicians to try out their skills with a few songs at their open mic nights Sundays from 7-9pm SLT here: Whispering Sands Promotions AND Jagged Edge Music Venue, Sunset Cove (42, 204, 29)  Their mgt blog for info on musicians, booking, promotions is here: http://wslpromo.net/
P.S. their sim landscaping is beautiful too.

Tonight they had a great lineup of new singers and seasoned pros making for a great time.  Approx 45 visitors attended.  I decided to blog them again because this time they had a couple of singers I was not previously familiar with.  One was Liam Wahwah Wakeman.  His partner and manager Anashara Dubois told me he plans to start singing regularly in SL in a couple of weeks.  This will be a treat for us all if his performance tonight is any example of what he has to offer.  First of all he has a wonderful smooth beautiful voice but his guitar playing blew my mind. He also managed to perform 3 diff genre in his 3 song selections.  It was at this point in the evening I was chatting briefly with WSLP owner/mgr Jorr that SL truly has some impressive professional talent.  I snapped a couple of pics of Liam as I do believe he will become very popular in SL fast. And Yay, I sorta have a blog scoop on him here now.  Anyway .. you won't want to miss him.  Remember his name, Liam Wahwah Wakeman. I hope to hear a lot more of him soon.

GregKat24 Rocks Second Life!

Today I was over at Helle's Angels venue to hear GregKat24 and brought out a sign I made for his shows.  Greg has a HUGE list of songs he sings and plays guitar to.  It's very impressive he can play so many and sing them vs using tracks.  He has a good variety of song genre on his song list and is heavy on classic rock and some 80s stuff I love, some oldies and other things.  I made the sign because, well, basically he's a great rocker, but also I love to request "Rock Me Gently" and he also sings "Rock Me Like a Wagon Wheel" pretty regularly too.  He also does my all time favorite last dance song, "Lights" by Journey and a lot of others I really like such as Blink182, Ozzy, Ramones, Guns N Roses, The Romantics, Creed, Sheryl Crow, etc.

Greg has been into music RL for years and has been in SL for a while but just recently started singing inworld.  He is managed by Whispering Sands Live Promotions and you can find his profile, soundcloud music to listen to, calendar, profile, history and for booking got WSLP website here: http://wslpromo.net/2015/10/greg-kat/

The Whispering Sands Live Promotions bio on him states: "In the world of solo acoustic performers GregKat24 is somewhat of a musical chameleon. Performing well over 1000 RL shows at many diverse venues ranging from college nooners, orientations, and night shows to major resorts as well as headlining club shows and opening for National acts in his native Pittsburgh, PA, he is as comfortable in front of thirty people as he is in front of three hundred or three thousand!

Greg’s solo acoustic show combines intoxicating party rock from the “big 80’s” Hot modern rock from the 90’s and today and enough classic tracks to keep everyone happy. With charm & musicianship Greg uses every trick (fair & unfair) to get the crowd joining in, singing along, and (God forbid) having fun! He is totally audience fueled, leaving plenty of room for requests and guaranteeing that on two show are ever alike!

“Greg Iskat is a hard working enthusiastic entertainer
who won’t do you wrong”
Jim Krenn, Pittsburgh Legend

“Greg Iskat has one of those earnest voices that immediately reminds you of the Eagles’ Don Henly”
Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post Gazette""
