During my first foray into Second Life, one of the things that struck me initially was the presence of music. Intrigued with the possibilities I did a quick Google search that yielded some interesting results.
According to this article that first appeared in the September 7, 2006 issue of Rolling Stone magazine, Second Life has already proved itself a viable way for musicians (both established and aspiring) to connect with their existing fans or an new audience.
Established musicians like Susan Vega have recently performed “live”. While retro groups like Duran Duran are also setting up shop hoping to recapture some of their 80’s glory. With authentic and far more diverse audiences so easily accessible will it be long before schools begin to use Second Life as a base for performing? The possibilities are nearly endless.
