Atlantic String Machine already has its set list picked out for this Sunday's concert at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Charlottetown thanks in part to its fans.

It asked for input on social media as to what pieces it should play for the "best of" performance.

"I've got a very interesting list here of what people have asked for," said group member Sean Kemp.

Kemp said the requests include medleys from Lord of the Rings, Mission Impossible, My Fair Lady, Lost Time the title track from the band's album and The Beatles' Eleanor Rigby.

"We were a little worried what we might be asked for, because you have to honour it when you're asked to do it," Kemp said.

"The interesting thing is it actually makes our job a little easier because the audience has selected these pieces, so we go, OK, that's half the program done," he said. "We also did a tally around the group of our favourite pieces."

Guess the guest

Sunday's show will also feature a guest artist. The band shared clues throughout the week, encouraging their fans to "guess the guest."

  1. Fresh out of dough.

  4. True North Records.
  5. On tour right now.
