Open Mic Hosting

I've been hosting live-music open mics since 1997.

When running an open mic, I try to put myself in the shoes of the participating musicians.

When I first started hosting, I thought about my personal experiences with other's open mics. I made of list of things that I liked, and things that I didn't like. I ran my open mic according the the list and sought feedback from the musicians.

At one point, my company, Open Mic Entertainment, operated 30 open mics per week in five cities.

This blog is designed to help you 'fine-tune' your hosting skills.

I hope you find it informative.
