any with an audience to connect with, big or small, it's the connection for me
I've played in many bands as a harmonica player front man/vocalist, rhythm guitarist, solo act both acoustic/ vocals and stand alone vocals with backing tracks
best vocalist Sir Tom Jones, glen campbell, johnny cash, johnny mathis leon redbone, frank sinatra greatest song of all time misty by johnny mathis
I put on a show I entertain my audience with not only music but with banter and invite interaction and sing along songs make it a night to remember
I normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. I normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. I'm always happy to play encores which I usually play on for 2 to 4 songs
yes outside but ask for overhead shade, (gazebo etc) my instruments range from 1k to 4k in value a flat so protection from the elements is imperative, with a level surface and a power supply close to the performance area."
normally I play a a set repertoire list I can learn requested songs given ample time in advance
I always get complimented on my performance in regard to song choice and my guitar work, and what always goes down well is my countryfied versions of modern songs such as adele's "someone like you" and a bluegrass version of Misty and wonderwall
