<p>Hello and welcome to <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Open Mic Network</strong>.</span></p>
<p>My name is <strong>Corey Stewart</strong> and I run the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/openmicsa" target="_blank"><strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong></a> every Wednesday night at the <a href="http://www.danieloconnell.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>Daniel O&#8217;Connell Hotel</strong></a> (165 Tynte Street, North Adelaide, SA)</p>
<p>This website is dedicated to the promotion and expansion of the grassroots music phenomenon sweeping the world called the <strong>&#8220;Open Mic&#8221;</strong> (or Mike, whichever you prefer). It&#8217;s also going to be a up-to-date and concise resource on Open Mic&#8217;s and other grassroots music information in Australia and (eventually) around the world.</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_mic" target="_blank"><strong> Wikipedia</strong></a> describes an &#8220;Open Mic&#8221; in this way:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;&#8230;a live show where audience members may perform at the microphone. Usually, the performers sign up in advance for a time slot with the host or master of ceremonies (MC)&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>An Open Mic is a live interactive experience for both performer and audience member. It seems that no matter where you are in the world you&#8217;ll find an Open Mic, a venue with a community of musicians of all skill levels and punters alike congregating together with <em>one thing in common&#8230;</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>A passion for live entertainment.</strong></span></p>
<p>Open Mic&#8217;s come in many shapes and sizes. There are Open Mic&#8217;s for music, comedy, spoken word or a mixture of all three. They can be held anywhere, in pubs, clubs, venues and halls. All it takes to get an Open Mic running is <em>a group of people with the desire to perform, wanting a place to play.</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s as simple as that&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s my hope that <strong>The Open Mic Network</strong> will provide anybody with the desire to perform and to find a place to play all of the necessary information and encouragement to get out there and show the world what they can do.</p>
<p>Until then, get out of the bedroom and onto the stage. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Where you belong.</strong></span></p>
