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).

Member Since: 02/06/2007
Band Members: The core goal of the OpenMicNetwork, or mission if you will, is to get original musicians such as yourselves in as many ears as possible. Having a place to come together and actually hear each other's music was Phase One.
Now, and none too soon, Phase Two has arrived!
Providing songs from our Featured Artists will continue. In addition to this I am adding videos to the page.
Do you have a MySpace or YouTube video you would like to have displayed as a Featured Performance?
Featured Performer!
The videos must be original recordings of you playing your music (please do not send videos of your friend's performing). Music is to be songs from members of the Network (however, if someone else has performed your song, you may submit that but the performer must be given credit). It is preferred that it be a live performance, but if you have filmed additional footage and made an actual "music video", this is welcome as well. All content should be in compliance with MySpace & YouTube policy.

***To be a Featured Performer, simply email two things to OpenMicNetwork
@gmail.com
:
1. The link to your MySpace profile.

2. The HTML code of the video.

Influences: Acoustic Instruments, Life, Death, The Sea, The Wind, The Trees, The Fields, Emotions, Each Other...
