Im in a band right now that is staying booked mostly with newer upbeat top 40 type country. We also throw in some older country, classic rock, even a little funk. Whatever to keep them in the club and on the dance floor. It's pretty cool going from Lady Antebellum into Brickhouse. I also play praise music in church sometimes but that is not a paying gig for me. I just do it because I like it. That is how I learned to improvise, by learning praise choruses on the spot whenever the band leader would kick one off that I didn't know and doing my best to be on it.
