Tell Us Your Open Mic Story
Have open mics played a role in your music journey? Do you have an interesting/humurous story from an open mic? Email it to us and we`ll share it with our nationwide family of musicians.
OpenMic.us has been, and still is, a major part of my musical journey.
I started playing the open mic circuit over 3 years ago. During that time, I have met some great musicians and formed long lasting friendships.
About a year ago, I found a musical partner at one of the open mics. It started with me singing harmony on a cover song he would perform from time to time. We started talking and now, Jared and I have formed a duo, The Akustik Arkitex. We are now playing paying gigs around the area.
This would have never been a possibility if it had not been for OpenMic.us.
Thank you OpenMic.us!
