REPERTOIRE & SONGS
We are known for our deep repertoire of songs, but rarely use set lists for our shows. Top40 Contemporary. Oldies, Classic Rock and Country. Pop and Dance Throwbacks. Motown, Funk and Soul. Our masterlist covers most genres.
If there are songs you would love to hear, songs you do not want to hear, or a musical vibe you are looking for, that is good for us to know. We’ll mix your ideas with our experience to create the appropriate atmosphere.
For formal events, we can play specific songs to fit a timetable. In a dance/party context we almost never follow a set song list, or predetermined order. We play the party by ear. Reading the temperature of the room, the energy of the crowd, responding to those dynamics, and adapting songs on the fly.
All that said, we recognize that you, our potential client, would like a sense of the flow of an ALMOST FAMOUS show.
Rather than posting an incredibly long list of the hundreds of songs we know, below are two example set lists. One from a recent ALMOST FAMOUS Acoustic Duo set. The other from an ALMOST FAMOUS full band performance. Click images to enlarge.
