Just a quick update with my set list from last night’s gig. I played at The Mermaid for Splash Sundays, with a set that went roughly from 8 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. Splash Sundays is a no genre night, but I think last night’s set definitely leaned more towards classic alt and modern indie and darkwave. I don’t plan sets. Really, I just go by what songs make people move and what band t-shirts people are wearing.
