As far as I know, yes. I have asked about this on other forums. A license for each song would be necessary. If anyone knows any different, advise me. Such as posting some mp3's of copyright material to allow prospective clients to hear songs you might play.
If you do it just for funsies and do not play for money, you could request a "gratis" license.
As for what are the odds of them coming after you, I have no idea. There are countless sites with copyrighted material. But it would be a drag if they did, wouldn't it. They are definitely getting more pro-active with suing.
