Well, this is the way I have been doing all my gigs for 50+ years and no one has ever complained yet.
First a one hour gig is 16 songs.
Take a 15 minute break and the second set is 45 minutes and 12 songs.
Every song I create a custom style for I put in one of the 4 categories. I rotate from style type 1, 2, 3 and then 4 and repeat the pattern. So for a one hour gig I will be playing (4) #1 type songs, (4) #2 type songs, (4) #3 type songs, (4) #4 type songs.
The 4 different song categories I rotate through are:
1.) 2-4 Country Hoedown Beat, such as Folsom Prison, Workin’ Man Blues, Wagon Wheel, The Closer You Get, Gentle On My Mind, On the Road Again, Sold
2.) A song the doesn’t fit in the other 3 categories, such as Neon Moon, The Wonder of You, Good Direction, People Are Crazy, Why Don’t We Just Dance, 15 Minutes.
3.) A slow belly rubbin’ song, such as Funny How Time Slips Away, My Eyes, Help Me Make It Through the Night, I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry, Feels So Right
4.) High energy/ Rockabilly such as Drivin’ My Live Away, Dance the Night Away, This Ole Boy, What Was I Thinkin’, Down on the Farm, Achy Breaky Heart.
You don’t want to put people to Sleep with a bunch of Slow songs.
