When I got my first steady paying gig ten years ago, I was 19. I snuck into a bar and sat in with the blues/jazz/bar-tune band and was hired that night since they were multi-instrumentalists who took turns covering the drum duties. They were all in their 40's or 50's and we played everything from funky versions of jazz standards to the typical mustang sally, soul shine, and gloria. I've always liked music that was "before my time" and have no idea what the new bar songs will be. But I hooked up with a 90's cover project that plays some Weezer, "Closing Time" by Semisonic, "Sex and Candy" by Marcy Playground, and a few other 90's Top-40 tunes and one-hit-wonders. Are we the next generation of bar band music? It actually makes me kind of sad because I like the older stuff and the new music I like never really ends up on the radio.
Will we never again hear the drunken war cry of "Play some Skynrd!!!' or "FREE BIRD!"? Will Sally never again ride?
