WOOLWICH — Maine native Shannon Selig is coming home to New England for a special two-week tour. She will play on Friday, Nov. 16, at Montsweag Roadhouse, Route 1, Woolwich, and Friday, Nov. 23, at Buck’s Naked BBQ, Route 1, Freeport. Both shows are at 9 p.m.

Selig recently relocated to Nashville to work alongside Jim Mayer, long time bassist for Jimmy Buffet, and Alan Schulman an award-winning record producer. Together Selig and Mayer co-wrote “Show Me The Light,” a song originally written for two 10- year-old girls who took their own lives because they were bullied in school. The song was released via You-Tube for the month of October to help raise awareness for anti-bullying.

“Show Me The Light” will be a part of Selig’s first album to be recorded in Nashville. Schulman has signed on to produce the fulllength album due out in February 2013. The funds to create the album are being raised independently via the online Kickstarter platform.

Selig has gained international recognition for her songwriting and singing. In March of this year, she competed and won two awards in Tennessee for her original song “Inside My Heart” and for vocal performance at the show. Selig is also the New England Female Vocalist of the Year and Female Entertainer of the Year; she is up for two more awards in 2013 for her original songs, “Love Like This” and “Dance with You,” also to be featured on her new album.
