My band recently started getting asked to play weddings and as much as i don't want to the $ will keep me from getting a day job. Does anyone know if my band starts playing these weddings will we need a license or some sort of a DJ license or pay royalties to someone to play live cover songs? If anyone knows about this or has been in this situation before let me know thanks.
