SONG LIST – LAUREL McKENNA

My song list is below. Having performed professionally for so long, I have built up a massive repertoire and new songs are added regularly.

I have separated the songs into categories to give you an idea of the different styles of music I play. At a gig, I ‘read’ the crowd and play the type of music that I think they’ll like. Generally I play a mix of easy listening, ballads, swing & jazz for earlier in the night, then dance music for later in the night.

What I perform depends on the crowd, or the venue I’m playing at. For instance, some venues want easy listening music all night – just pleasant background music.

Let me know your requirements and I can plan my music to suit your needs.
