What You're Getting Yourself Into

Okay, so we've now got enough material to do, I dunno, maybe a billion sets. Or maybe closer to a dozen. And we keep changing up the song and set order, not only to keep it interesting but also to play to the different crowds we expect at our shows.

So here's five "example" sets, just to give you a guess at a typical Syndicators performance. But since we usually do only three sets on a given night, we make sure to do only the best. Plus we've got a bunch of spare songs that we don't regularly do listed at the bottom, which we haul out for requests or special occasions.
