Our community's open mic event attracts 100+ musicians and thousands of listeners each week. We provide a haven for creative expression and genuine connection. All are welcome. Every contributor can be proud of the fact we are building a live music movement, sharing songs with an international audience. Global harmony is our mission. World peace is our vision.

For the 71st week of Hive Open Mic, we will explore the following theme: "High Spirits." This theme is chosen by our community's current Spotlight Artist: @musicandreview, who are two stars, carrying songs with passionate vocal performances and solid guitar playing. Everyone is encouraged to share the collective current as we express and connect through: High Spirits.
