Cover Your Friend's Songs
It will help them out and your audience will love it
Calling all musicians!
Cover your friend's songs. Tell everyone how great they are.
I noticed when attending concerts that most bands play some originals and some covers. Some play all originals or all covers. This applies to you too.
I'm great with bands playing originals. Do your own thing. And I understand that musicians include cover songs because a) they like the songs and b) it's nice to play some music the audience already knows.
My guess is all these musicians have friends who write good songs. I know I do. Could be someone they played with before and they already know the song. Could be a friend who plays in another band and you have there CD with original songs on it. Could be someone you barely know on the internet who has a youtube video of a song they wrote that you really like.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Copyright Infringement Playing Stella By Starlight
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-04-21
Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a band of young musicians play a jazz standard.
It was my great good fortune to be able to work with high school jazz musicians at the Delta Jazz Workshop for several years. I enjoyed the workshop sessions and listening to rehearsals but my favorite job was rehearsing small groups made up of workshop attendees, mostly high school students.
In July of 2018 I was given some amazing musicians including a rhythm section of young musicians who were already playing at a professional level. So this was a great opportunity to show these students the whole process, selecting songs, creating instrumental sections, writing arrangements, and rehearsing for a concert.
And we had five days to make all this happen.

"I didn't try to create something that was difficult to play. I just composed music that reflected my thoughts. I knew the musicians would play it, because it sounded good".

"No intenté crear algo que fuese difícil de tocar. Me limité a componer música que reflejase mis pensamientos. Sabía que los músicos le meterían mano, porque sonaba bien"
