There’s so much great music out there!! For our group with such diverse tastes in music, choosing what to cover is our biggest challenge! We have fun in going through the possibilities and the exploration of new music (aka. squirrel moments), and love it more when something “clicks” with the group. Ultimately, we want to make any song our own, and give it a comfy home in a well-balanced set. Every event, every venue, and every situation is different, so we adjust our set list and audience participation factor to suit the gig. Every performance is unique! To give an idea, here is a list of songs we have played at one point or another.
