Just send us an Email! Hawk Reynolds - Open Mic Success Story OpenMic.us has been, and still is, a major part of my musical journey. I started playing the open mic circuit over 3 years ago. During that time, I have met some great musicians and formed long lasting friendships. About a year ago, I found a musical partner at one of the open mics. It started with me singing harmony on a cover song he would perform from time to time. We started talking and now, Jared and I have formed a duo, The Akustik Arkitex. We are now playing paying gigs around the area. This would have never been a possibility if it had not been for OpenMic.us. Thank you OpenMic.us!
