Thanks for this Osckilo. I did an open mic night like six years ago, or maybe eight now. And it sucked for a variety of reasons. But just this past Tuesday I did what really feels like the first one. I didn't do nearly as bad as I could have. Five originals, four went off okay, the last one was a train wreck but I stuck with it and made it through. Even after years of being in a band as a guitarist, being solo in front of people and actually singing where they can hear is still nerve wrenching.

I took the time to listen to your first open mic and read up on your journey. Thanks for sharing. It was good to read even a few years later.

I've dipped into this and found it really interesting. The things I've learnt along the way . . .

Oh, have faith in yourself and your songs and commit 100%
Look at the audience and try and tailor the act accordingly
It's never going to be perfect, deal with it
