Hi, I'm Jeremy. In 2007, I created The OpenMicNetwork, an international group of original acoustic songwriters who share their talents and knowledge throughout the Network and offer great resistance to the mainstream! The OpenMicNetwork Virtual Stage, which features artists from around the globe, was born on MySpace with the unique face that combines originality, raw talent and refined connections with the variable expressions of acoustic inspirations.

The OpenMicNetwork is filled with writers and music lovers from around the world who now have a Facebook Presence where I encourage free exchange of ideas, tips and gigging information.

The OMN has promoted the original music of over 50 Featured Artists on the OMN Virtual Stage found right here on this page! Join us today on Facebook and let us all push the talents of one another to their limits and fulfill the Creed of the OMN: "Offer resistance to the mainstream!".

PLEASE NOTE:
The OpenMicNetwork is no longer featuring videos ("Featured Performers") due to bandwidth constraints. Thank you to those who submitted videos which have been featured for the last many months!

FRIENDS, you are in the network now, please move us up in YOUR friend's list so that we are visible to your viewers. This will increase traffic on all of our sites even more. Thanks!

This site was created to network singer/songwriter acts (primarily solo acts, but bands are more than welcome to join as well).

The goal here is to offer resistance to the mainstream and promote REAL songwriters. Although we are interested in everything, we want to hear that writer who plays for friends around campfires and open mics. There are countless writers out there who are writing the best material but aren't pursing a career for whatever reasons...but still write. Or, maybe you are a writer looking for a partner or a group to form a band. What I am trying to say is: we are looking for the real deal. So if you are trying to write the latest pop country, rap or modern rock hit, we're not interested. We want to hear something we haven't already heard a dozen times. No reprocessed music needed here. 99% of Friend Requests will be accepted, but when I visit your site and listen to your music and I feel like I've heard it a million times, you will be denied. Because allowing industry "music" will open the door for countless Friend Requests from those who do not understand the real nature of music.

So if you get what I am saying, submit a friend request so we can all check out one another's stuff. Once you are in the Open Mic Network, be sure to drop in and add a comment whenever you upload a new song to your page or want to advertise a performance. Not a writer? Join anyway!

_____________

GETTING A SONG ON THIS PAGE: A Featured Artist list keeps a running display of all songs ever featured on the Open Mic Network. Click on the names above to visit their pages. Some Artists no longer have sites, so if you click a name and it goes to my personal artist site, that's why.

I'm sorry, but the OpenMicNetwork is not accepting new material at this time. There are MANY artists on standby who have submitted their songs to be Featured and it will still be some time before all these songs get cycled through. The support has reached the point of being overwhelming, which is great! Once the list begins to dwindle, I will announce when songs will once again be accepted. Thank you got your understanding and patience and most of all for making the OpenMicNetwork the most successful site promoting original music. TOGETHER WE OFFER RESISTANCE TO THE MAINSTREAM!

DISCLAIMER: The OpenMicNetwork (or those who represent it) is not responsible for anything resulting from your song being featured here. You are in no way giving up any rights to your material. This is for recreational purposes and to promote you as an artist.

Whether you want your song to appear on this page or not, join up so we can come hear you at your page and you can still promote yourself using the comments section. The Top Friends List will always reflect the latest Featured Artists (newest on top).

The bar faced away from the little open mic stage. You had musicians playing for musicians seated in front of the stage, but those parked in the stools aren't there for the music. You play to their backs while they watch the game or just drink or what have you. So you play to the faces and the faceless.

I'll never forget one night I was playing and I had my eyes closed. I was getting fairly into what I was doing and at one point I finally opened my eyes and everyone was perched up in their seats, attentive & silent. It gave me a rush, but when I noticed the ENTIRE bar had spun a 180 in my direction wearing the same gaze as the crowd, I nearly lost my place in the song from excitement, but I hammered on and finished out with that feeling we seem to continually reach for.

I wish I knew what it was that got their attention in that particular song. I'd bottle it and wear it as perfume!

Tell us your open mic story in the Discussions area at: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=114660473874&ref=nf&__a=1
