I've had a request from a B&G for this coming weekend for upbeat/fun dinner music. A few artists they like are the Police, Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson etc. But they also want some wedding classics too. I'm so used to playing slower backound music that I'm racking my brain to find some medium to fast tempo music. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Upbeat, but elegant in no particular order:
Michael Buble - Moondance
Michael Buble - How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By you
Joey McIntyre - Makin' Whoopie
Anita Day - I Won't Dance (also by Sinatra & Ella Fitzgerald)
Cheek To Cheek - Jane Monheit (You Tube it!)
My Girl - Michael Bolton (believe it or not this remake is great)
Now that light alternative your talking about:
Fray - How to save a life
Jack Johnson - Bubble Toes
Dave Matthews - Grey Street
David Cook - Time of my life
David Gray - Babylon
John Mayer - Body Is A Wonderland
Ben Harper - Steal My Kisses
