The beginning is always the hardest..
But it doesn’t have to be that hard ;)
Open Mics are a great way to get involved with your local music community.
It’s where you’ll meet other singers and instrumentalists that you can ask to form a band or duo with…
And it’s also where booking agents hang out sometimes too, giving your the opportunity to get booked for a paid show if they like you!
And that’s exactly what happened with me.
The first open mic night I played at I got a couple paid gigs from and from there on I was able to get the right contacts for other venues and get solid booked all over town.
So the question is how do you find these open mics in your town?
head over to openmic.us and search for your city!
It’ll spit out all the different open mics in your area 😊

If you haven’t, why not?
