Song Choices

---

Our playlist covers an expansive range of genres—mostly classic rock, country rock, Southern rock, and alternative rock, with a little pop, blues, and funk—featuring music from the ’70s through today, carefully selected to keep diverse audiences engaged and the dance floor moving.

We thoughtfully plan each set list in advance to fit the venue and its crowd. For dance-loving audiences, we fill the night with favorites that keep the floor moving. For more of a listening crowd, we shape the set around well-loved songs that people can relax to and sing along with. Every show is carefully tailored to the venue to create the best possible experience

You’ll notice a strong presence of Tom Petty in our setlist—simply because we’re genuine fans of his music and are in the process of creating a tribute band. While we chose to keep The Smokin' Ocotillos' sound broader, we can easily create a dedicated Tom Petty–focused set or two upon request.

We can definitely add more slow songs to this list if needed, and are also willing to consider learning specific songs upon request.
