Issues raised about sensitivity and pattern are significant, and the band along with the venue will make a big difference in your results. I like the airy fidelity and crisp intimacy of condensers, but as a vocalist utilize the proximity effects that familiar dynamics, including the sm58, deliver. If you're talking about a small acoustic combo, or a solo act, in a small club or coffee house, and that doesn't appear to be the case, a large-diaphragm condenser would be an interesting alternative.
