Hive Open Mic ( #openmic ) is a global community celebrating live music on Hive. Each week is a new event, inviting creative expression and genuine connection.
Hive Open Mic
Week 47: February 28 - March 6, 2021
Today we continue our new tradition of inviting one outstanding participant to declare the weekly theme. I personally feel our themes are meaningful because they unite us in the present moment, sharing the same current, and so I feel this is a real honor to let the community make the call. This week's theme is selected by the 44th week's "Spotlight Artist": @mariajruizb.
Our Hive Open Mic community is 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 by celebrating songs with an international audience. Our event stands for global harmony.
“Faith”
This week's Hive Open Mic theme is: “Faith.” This is a pressure-free invitation, encouraging us to explore new territory together as artists and share a common ground as a community. Musicians always have full freedom to bring whatever music feels inspired in the moment.
How To Participate
- Produce - Introduce your video with the words: “Hive Open Mic Week [1],” presenting yourself and performing a song.
