downzy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm looking for song suggestions for piano bar-like setting.I'm getting married in October and the night before many people are coming in to join us for I suppose will be our rehearsal dinner. There's a grand piano in the restaurant that I've been told will tuned and available should I want to sit down and play some tunes for our guests. A lot of the material I use to play isn't really suitable for a piano-bar like setting, so I've been trying to come up with different songs that will be fun for people to listen and sing along to. Here's a few songs I already know how to play:River of Dreams - Billy JoelPiano Man - Billy JoelNew York State of Mind - Billy JoelMargaritaville - Jimmy BuffettYour Song - Elton JohnGoodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton JohnSaturday Night's Alright for Fighting - Elton John (haven't learned this one yet, will get to it in April)Maybe I'm Amazed - Paul McCartneyHey Jude - The BeatlesBohemian Rhapsody - QueenImagine - John LennonKarma Police - RadioheadFreedom 90 - George MichaelThat's probably a good enough list, but thought I'd throw it out there in case someone had any suggestions. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
