Country band members tell us that set lists often range from tried and true country to modern musical tastes. "People we've met tend to have broad musical tastes - even if we're playing modern country with Lady Antebellum songs, they'll also have Macklemore on the iPod between sets," shares the DoveLand Band. The Kaela Gardner Band also notes the popularity of rock-country and pop-country music at their wedding gigs. "Eric Church, Taylor Swift, The Band Perry and Luke Bryan are the biggest artists we get song requests for!"
But perhaps the best thing to keep in mind is what the Mason Rivers band points out: "The focus has shifted from traditional wedding songs to to personal preferences and just having fun!" After all, this is your wedding, so let your personal tastes shine!
