HIT-N-RUN BAND

Song List

Contained in this list are songs that may apply to only the small band or only the big band depending on your needs & budget.  If you have a specific song or 2 for your special event-let us know -If it is do-able we will do it for you and  the client & the band must put it in the contract when booking the band. Song choices are dependent on size of band you prefer that fits your budget, timeline and the availability AND ability of personnel for the gig. We are very accommodating, but inclusion of songs on this website does not guarantee they will be performed at a specific function and all final song choices are to be determined by the band -leader.  REMEMBER, we expand from a 2 piece to a 9 or 10 piece big band, therefore this song list is very large to include songs for the range of musicianship.   You may inquire if certain songs can be done by the smaller band or require a big band.  We also supply all break music and create a customized playlist for you with our computer/ipod system.
WATCH FOR UPCOMING CHANGES TO THE SONG LIST - BROKEN DOWN INTO CATEGORIES OF MUSIC.  Thanks.
If you are looking for a particular song & don't see it here, call me - we may do it and don't have it on the list ....or it may be on our list of songs to learn.

This page is still under construction to add many more songs from the  other band members material and some big band songs.   Obviously there are many songs by the same artists on the list that we can do but are not listed here.  Just ask if you don't see what you are looking for - we may know it.  ALOT OF OUR IMPROMPTU REQUESTS ARE ADDED OFTEN.  Thanks for your patience.
