Set Lists

[cowboykevo321]

I am starting a country/southern rock band and i was wondering if anyone could give me an example of their set list because i have no idea of how to do that. Any help is appreciated!!!!

Are you doing covers, or originals?

The only advice I can offer is if your doing originals. When you start playing out, you've got to throw in a cover song every 3 or 4 songs to keep the crowd interested. Most new bands playing out will lose the crowd after the first few songs, so throwing in a cover song they know will bring them back.

Always include "the ballad of gator mcclusky" from the movie gator. The audience will go nuts!

Well, I would suggest just going to a bar with the kind of atmosphere you'd like to play in and asking people there what songs they'd like to hear from a band playing there. When a couple people say the same thing, you've got something you might want to consider adding to your list.

As a side note, MUSTANG SALLY seems to be on everybody's song list...
