Virtual Open Mic Night


The Virtual Open Mic Night is for all ages and all performers - not just musicians. See Rules below. The idea is to make quick, raw videos to give us the feel of a real Open Mic and to show what musicians, poets, comedians, dancers, and other performers are doing during the pandemic. Don't spend too much time editing and playing with sound, it should feel like you're at home with friends not like you're performing in a stadium. Most of us are just using our phones. I don't want videos of your band on stage from 2019. It was probably awesome but let's begin something new: Virtual Open Mic.

The playlist is 1st come/1st played - so the earlier you send your videos the better (hint: don't wait until Wednesday).

The Virtual Open Mic Playlist is live on YouTube at 7pm every Weds and will be sent to everyone in our newsletter as well as promoted on all our social media pages. That's more people watching you on a Weds night than any in-person Open Mic!
Send me your videos!

RULES:
1. 5 Minute, Recent Video - Taken within 7 days of the playlist date (covers/originals are both ok). Show us what you're performing now! Quick and raw like a live Open Mic. I don't have time to edit. If it's longer than 5 minutes, it doesn't get added.

2. No Violent Language - children are also watching/performing

3. You must EMAIL your video or a link to your recent YouTube video to: [email protected]
with the subject line: VIRTUAL OPEN MIC
(Dropbox and Google Drive share accepted)
*Videos sent through Facebook Messenger might not be seen. *

4. Videos due by 12pm (noon) each Weds or it goes on next week's Open Mic.

5. It goes up as it comes to me - I don't have time to edit so make sure your video is sent exactly as you want it to be on Youtube.
