So I host an open mic night... song suggestions....

[valencourt]

I'm currently hosting an acoustic open mic night, and I like to have a lot of variety of songs to play. I play a lot of stuff I like, and I have 20 of my own songs I can play, but I have to please the crowd too with familiar stuff here and there, so I have to play a lot of modern radio stuff, as well as older songs.

If you went to the open mic night, what would you like to hear?

Anything from The Velvet Underground & Nico that would work acoustic. Sunday Morning, Run Run Run, I'll Be Your Mirror, etc.

[undonesweater93]

anything by fleetwood mac would work well.

[UnderMyDreams]

I see you play Waggy... Just a suggestion would be to play a more well known blink song just so it's more recognizable.

Just my opinion.

play the doobie brothers, wilco, & limbeck,

I've just started listening to Wilco and will likely play something off Yankee Foxtrot Hotel at some point!

You're So Vain - Carly Simon

def the Zombies (time of the season, summertime, or she's not there)
was thinking of working on moondance for Van Morrison.
I hate that caryl simon song haha. You need to hear Matt Costa's 'Miss Magnolia'. It's a blatant ripoff of Mungo Jerry's song.
