I`m thirteen and have co-written and recorded four-songs in the last seven-months. I got a chance to play at an open mic in Dallas, and a guy that casts for Disney was there. So here I was singing my heart out and playing the guitar when the mic started sliding down, so I kept going down with it. I couldn`t believe no one would come and help! By the end of the song I was almost to my knees.
He loved it and couldn`t believe I didn`t freak out because of the mic. He took my info (I`m too young to be in a high school musical movie). :)
We plan on attending lots of open mic nights this year.
A number of years back, I made the transition from avid musician hobbyist to professional performer. Since then, I`ve made my living in the music business.
If you`ve thought about `going pro`, I`ve got something that you`ll find very helpful.
I`ve written a book and it`s now available for the first time!
Barbara Cloyd is an accomplished songwriter and mentor in Nashville. She has hosted the most famous open mic ever at The Bluebird Cafe for twenty years.
Barbara shares her vast open mic experience with us in these fascinating articles.
The "Indie Bible" is the 'Holy Grail' for musicians trying to promote and sell their music. With over 9,000 entries, this 300+ page book is the best reference guide on the market.
