A Community for Gospel Music Fans and Artists to attain advice

live performance

Well, God is opening doors, and i have accepted it. Now, i'm doing my first "not at a church" performance, singing for a 2 hour slot at a Christian coffeehouse. Can anyone tell me approx. how many songs i need? I'm thinking in the range of 25 or so, but just looking for advice from someone with more experience. Thanks for your help!!

2 hours is ALOT of time, but I would say about 25 is right. Depending upon how much time you talk or testify in between songs.......

Normally there is when performing in restaurants especially if you are the only artist.That gives you time to talk to the people, sell some merchandise or just take a breather.Depending on the length of the songs and your intro to the songs 20 to 25 should be plenty.; ▶ Reply to This

In fact some times I tend to talk too much, I could prob get away with 15 - 20 songs tops. All depends on your comfort level and faith in what you're doing. Good luck and God Bless.; ▶ Reply to This
