Hey, so I mentioned in the last post I am a part of a duo called "The Young Professionals". We have a little bit of funk influence, a little pop, a little R & B and a little Reggae. We will be working almost around the clock to build up a solid repertoire with enough variety for any crowd. We are really looking forward to getting a following in Annapolis and playing for my hometown friends to Here is one of our many covers.
So here is a little sample of us doing a Maroon 5 cover:
Feel free to leave a comment below, let me know what you think of the cover and also let me know what covers you would want to hear us play! We do have a lot more videos to make before we start taking requests but, if there are enough suggestions for a certain song, we will add it to the repertoire.
A telling of my journeys through the uncharted frontiers of life as a professional musician. Shows, travel, expenses, tips, songs, lyrics, taxes and all the work and play that comes with it. Want to come?

Expanding the Repertoire
I knew this day would come eventually. General rule of thumb that one of Berklee professors told my class was that ANY artist seeking to have a solid repertoire and grasp of classic songwriting should have 250 songs in the bag. I do not have 250 songs. Probably about 45 (and that's counting originals). They have gotten me to this point in my career, but its not cutting it anymore. It's time to add some more variety. So what songs am I going to be getting under my fingers?
Here are some that I am really looking forward to learning:
The Beatles:
All You Need is Love, Blackbird
Springsteen:
Dancing in the Dark, Im on Fire
Sublime:
What I Got
Norah Jones:
Sunrise
Sara Bareillis:
Love Song
U2:
Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, With or Without You
Matchbox 20:
3A.M.
Sheryl Crow:
All I Wanna do is Have Some Fun, Favorite Mistake
Lucinda Williams:
Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
Paula Abdul:
Straight Up
Regina Spektor:
Fidelity
This will be one whole other set worth of music....but I have about 20 more full sets to learn! So what am I going to learn? Tell me! Leave a comment and let me know what songs you would like to cover! Tell me what you think of the covers I listed, too!
