Welcome to Folk Alley's Open Mic, a place for developing and under-exposed singers, songwriters and musicians to post their music to share with Folk Alley listeners. An open mic night is a traditional way that many musicians gain confidence performing while honing their songs. Folk Alley's Open Mic opens the stage to up-and-coming artists - presenting new music to thousands of folk music lovers.

Musicians - choose your best work and upload it. Pick categories to describe your song and add some artist info. The most important rule, the songs have to be yours or a traditional song that is part of the public domain. Please read the complete list of rules before beginning.

Listeners can sort songs by artist, title, category and date added to the queue and give them applause.

Open Mic - New Features: In the coming weeks, we will be adding some new features to the open mic section. The newest feature we are currently implementing is ratings by applause. Although anyone can give any song applause, it is only added to the ratings system if you are logged in and haven't already given a particular song applause previously.
Stay tuned for more additions and tweaks on the Folk Alley Open Mic page.
