Songs list

What we play. 

McHanIx is NOT a band for smoky, dive bars with only older men, although Allen could play a typical set of that nature if asked to.

The usual McHanIx set list is songs everyone knows adjusted to reflect the composition of audience - to try to make sure we hit on songs the different ages/genders in attendance might appreciate. Perhaps our strength is being able to offer that more broad based approach - see a McHanIx set list below at a laid back location with a mixed age (20 - 70) audience.  Other times, a venue may request upbeat songs concentrating on two decades which is fun too. 

Since we do play restaurants/bars, wineries/breweries, and city events/festivals, we have built a repertoire covering 6 decades that allows us to vary/fit the different styles/places.  We find that venues have a distinct preference - whether upbeat, background, rock, country, certain decades, or other - sometimes depending on manager that night. You can go to your decade -

1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s 2020s Holiday
