I'm a guitar player/country music singer. Right now I just play at home, in church, and at the odd retirement home. There I sing old country and gospel. I'm thinking about trying to sing at a benefit event happening near me, but I don't have any original songs (in fact, any music I've tried to write has been terrible. But I can sing other people's music.)
Can I sing contemporary Country Music that belongs to another artist sings on stage, or is that a violation of a copyright? I would give the original artist credit. I have a couple of Rascall Flatts songs in mind, and perhaps Taylor Swift or Alan Jackson, in addition to the old stuff I usually sing.
Does anyone know?
