jogger Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I would like to pull off being a passable vocalist/pianist. One thing though is contemperary songs. There is a venue that advertises for solo vocal/piantists but 75% of the material must be post 2000. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of great songs post 2000 to pick, and it worked out fine for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't take me serious, I'm just playing. ------------------------------------------------------------ Gear: Hammond XK5-system, Nord Stage3 Compact, Crumar Seven, Rhodes Mk2; Hammond M44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthaholic Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 The test is singing somewhere folk don't know you and seeing if they're engaged and looking at you - or just carrying on with their conversations and maybe a bit of polite applause from a few once you stop. Actually for most of my gigs this is what I strive for. I mostly play restaurants and events where people want to carry on conversations, so I'm not looking to intrude on that in my volume or my stage presence. I don't mind the polite applause because I find that a lot of people make it a point to let me know when they are leaving, or when I take a break, that they really enjoyed it. That's enough for me. The fact there's a Highway To Hell and only a Stairway To Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers People only say "It's a free country" when they're doing something shitty-Demetri Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
