Hybrid Set?
I have no idea why it took me this long to realize that doing a hybrid DJ-acoustic set was the thing to do.
I just had it in my mind that it was an either-or situation, but it’s not.
It’s unique. It’s something that other people can’t necessarily do professionally. And I can.
It also takes the heat off learning three hours’ worth of songs. Two hours is infinitely easier than three. One hour is about the same as two, really. But three is a mother.
And the last hour usually gets super quiet, so if I can just DJ that, it sounds like a dream.
I’ve had great feedback about it on social media. I just can’t believe I wasn’t thinking about this before. It’s ridiculous.
It’s also giving people what they want, and it’s making me super relaxed about the show Friday. Not that I couldn’t have done it. But man, why not make it easy when you have the opportunity?
So I figure it’ll be about one-third DJing and two-thirds live music. I also put it out there for people to challenge me with requests. If I can’t sing it, I’ll just DJ it.
I’m going to keep it real loose as far as what I do when. I have a little idea of a set list, but otherwise I’m going to be prepared and wing it.
I’ll report back on how it goes.
