Robh: I hear you kevin, but most gigs are not writers nights. They are folks eating dinner having a few drinks and listening to some old tunes they like. So backing tracks can give that feel. ...



I agree and it is hard to talk about backing track gigs without hurting folks' feelings. But bottom line -- if I could sing really well and I was a performer and there was a place that would pay me to perform standards, I would gladly go the backing track route. Better pay and I am sure that kind of performance is still rewarding to the player(s). I am not an anti-backing tracks kind of guy, I just know that with the kind of music I play and the venues involved, it won't work.
