FAQs

How many songs do i perform?

One song. But, artists are put together in groups of 4 and each group represents a round. When each round starts we start that round off with a cypher for that group so have at least 16-24 bars or an impromptu hook ready to perform as well.

 

What is a "show version" of my performance track that is being requested of me


We ask artists to email their show track ahead of time to thebarexamopenmic@gmail.com. A "show version" is simply a verion of the track that does not have the lead vocal on it. Hooks and Ad-libs or backing vocals are ok.

 

Where do i send my show track?

thebarexamopenmic@gmail.com

 

What format is accepted for my show track?

MP3 ONLY.

 

Can i change my track selection the night of?


No.

 

What if i do not have a hi resolution press photo to send you?

We can arrange a short photo shoot for $40 at or around Apache Cafe. Please email thebarexamopenmic@gmail.com for that request.

 

Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?

18+

 

What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?

Parking is available on the street (free after 9pm), Paid lot behind the club (pay the machine), parking garage on Spring St.

Marta: The North AVE stop is just a block away from Apache Cafe (Marta stop for The Varsity)

UBER and LYFT are great options too 

 

Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?

thebarexamopenmic@gmail.com

 

Is my artist registration or general admission ticket transferrable?

Because slots are limited to 16 artists to compete, refunds are not available 72 hours before the event. If a transfer request for an artist is made before that time via email then that artist can be transfered to the next month.  General admission refunds or transfers must follow the same guidelines.
