A friend of mine is a working musician that does mostly covers and plays shows 3-6 times a week. He has a booking agent that gets him pricey gigs all over the south. He does a lot of corporate parties and such. Anyway, his agent is interested in booking my girlfriend, but thinks she needs more repertoire. Here is a list of songs she plays. I need suggestions for more songs. I'm not extremely knowledgeable about shit that's come out the last 10-15 years.
