If I don’t have enough new original songs to play this summer, I plan to start learning cover songs again. Now I’m not going to play the same old cover songs you hear by cover bands at bar gigs. I’m only going to play the cover songs that I can play good. Find the right cover songs that I can sing good on. I enjoy playing cover songs. I’m going to be learning new cover songs this Spring/Summer. I think it’s a good idea to throw in a few cover songs along with my originals as a way to keep the audience listening.

I’ve been learning a new cover song today, “The Trip to Pirates Cove” by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Hear the song below. I plan to perform this cover at my June 4th gig at the Alcove Marina. I might play a few other cover songs that night too. Maybe play like 2 or 3 covers, then the rest originals. I’ll see how it goes.
