I'm looking for a list (or several) of Songs your band does that you have noticed the crowd mouthing if not out right singing along to.
Certainly the list will vary based on the crowd: Pre-College, College, Post-College, Oldies/Retro, Nursing Homes, etc. - so be sure to include some reference to your audience stereotype and ...
Thanks in Advance !! |

| | | | Wagon Wheel is one that seems to get every crowd I have played before singing out loud, but I live near Roanoke-which is mentioned in the song. |

|  | Sometimes it's one more note than what was needed! | | | | | Bon Jovi , Livin on a Prayer.
No matter where we play the audience sings the chorus with us every time.
In a packed small club they come up to the volume level of the band.
It's pretty damn cool.

Even though I'm not a big fan of it, when we played Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" a lot of people got into it. One that's more up my alley that was a big sing along hit was "House of the Rising Sun." |

Thanks in Advance !! | Just about 100% with the following:-
With Or Without You. (U2)
Every Breath You Take. (The Police)
Chasing Cars. (Snow Patrol)
Rolling in the Deep. (Adele)
Human. (The Killers)
Galway Girl. (Steve Earl & Sharon Shannon)
Sex on Fire. (Kings of Leon)
Still Got The Blues For You. (Garry Moore)
Alright Now. (Free)
Gloria. (Van Morrison)
No real need to mention the usual suspects such as Mustang Sally or I´m Gonna Be 500 Miles etc
No stereotypical audience here, it´s a tourist island. You get what you get and take it from there.

Any of the carpatastic cover band standards get the job done. We do a lot of 90s stuff also which people seem to enjoy.
