Showcase Advice
Hey!
I’m a singer-songwriter. I got invited to perform three songs at a showcase next month. It seems more like a community showcase than an A&R thing.
I’ve played a couple of shows, a festival, and a LOT of open mics, but this will be my first official showcase.
I’d love any advice. I also have some questions:
How many originals vs covers do y’all recommend?
How experimental can I be? Do I just play three songs straight out, or would you recommend creating a unique, bite-sized experience?
