Pull a couple off the Try! album. The Ray Charles "I gotta woman" cover, done in a blues trio style is cool (but I guess that doesn't work because Myra would be singing), and "Out of my Mind" is a fertile playground for improv. "Come when I call" and "Everyday I have the Blues" off the recent live album also have lots of room for improv and expression and I bet your 4 could do a great job of it. Myra could really get somewhere vocally on those I bet.

Hip Shake Thing is good along with Boom Boom Boom Boom. Both songs get folks dancing. Hey Pockey Way is cool too.

You'll want to get the crowd moving with some toe tapping hip shaking stuff for sure, but I'd also consider some slower tunes Myra can sing. Maybe some songs like Etta James' "At Last" or "I'd Rather Go Blind". At some point there will be a place for some "belly rubbing" music. With your chord knowledge and comping ability you could pull these off, even though they had more instrumentation originally.

If Myra is doing the vocals you should check out Susan Tedeschi's "just won't burn" album. I'd call it contemporary Blues. Very challenging for the guitar player by the way, too.
