If you're not in a band and not doing gigs as a singer/songwriter, then it's kind of the only acceptable way to sing in public outside church or choirs.

I sing in public once a week, on average, and accompany myself on guitar or various other instruments. I perform at singarounds and open mics in local pubs and do floor spots at a folk club. I never take part in karaoke.

I am not in a band and, although I may include a small selection of my own songs, I mainly perform my versions of well known songs from several differnt genres. I would not describe myself as a singer/songwriter and have never had a paid gig. I am not in a choir and am highly unlikely to be found in a church.
