    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.
