Gigsley - Acoustic Guitarist / Vocalist | Lakeland, Florida

Show Description

With an extensive song list of over 12 hours, there is a lot to play with. I like to read the audience and play songs that I believe would surprise them and catch them off guard to listen. I'm not afraid to play songs that might seem out of the ordinary, as long as it gets people to dance and sing. Structuring the set list around a unified theme, such as being a radio DJ or using thematics surrounding the songs helps bring an edge to the performance. I have even written short ads into the performance advertising local businesses! Through a carefully chosen song list along with games and acts t ... he audience can be engaged. Read More
