Bob Gail Music Sample Dance Band Repertoire

megaphone

Thank you for choosing Bob Gail Music!

Please note that this song list applies to all of our variety dance bands. Therefore occasionally there may be a handful of songs that one band does that another does not. For your convenience, you may click on the link icon next to each selection to hear a sample of the original recording. (Please let us know if any of the sample links are broken—sometimes posts get removed from YouTube.) If there are songs that you would like that aren’t on the list, please feel free to make additional requests. The band may already know the additional requests, and if not—and the requests are important enough to you—we can generally learn 2-3 songs per event. We will send you the latest version closer to the event date, and at that point there will be an interface for you to check off as many songs as you like and only cross of songs that you are passionately against. Then onsite the band will try to hit on as many of your requests as possible while simultaneously reading the room and using their judgement to choose the best songs from moment to moment to make your unique crowd respond best as the evening unfolds. Please do not hesitate to email with any questions. Thanks again and looking forward to a fantastic event!!
