Watching the collaboration happen online between musicians who played and met on Steemit Open Mic is very rewarding and many of the people who play and post earn some nice rewards for playing a song.

For many, it's easier to get some Steem in your tip jar by playing for Steemit Open Mic than it is to play music on the street.

1st Place


Steemit Openmic Week 73 Or Pulp Fiction Jovano Jovanke Macedonian Traditional Or --- by @silentscreamer


From the very first extended introduction note on the violin to the back flow of the interweaving guitar presence, you both show immediately your mastery in the craft of music. This was an exceptionally impressive display of talent, skill and passion and you brought the two songs together beautifully. This combination was filled with a lot of emotion, twisting and turning of rhythms, high and hypnotic sways of momentum and energies. I just love the violinist's playing and how you, without hesitation, broke through with a captivating vocal with just the right amount of harmonic support from the guitarist as well. This entry is beyond epic and deserves big praise and appreciation from the openmic community. You two have raised the standard once again and I thank you for making my judging that much easier. I look forward to many more of your entries in the future to come. Fantastic performance and inspiring to say the least. What a rush this journey was. - @verbal-d


This brought out the gypsy in me and had me dancing around the room when I first heard it. The passion is contagious and I couldn't sit still. Great work you guys. I would travel gypsy-style with you any day and hope to hear more! - @luzcypher


"I am just wowed here! the violin and guitar work is sublime, I love the song as well from pulp fiction. How badass is that? Not only is the playing out of this world but the vocalist / violin player absolutely nails an incredible vocal. wooo perfection guys i loved it" - @soundlegion


2nd Place


Steemit Open Mic Week 73: Original Song - I Don't Know Anything --- by @emilykeener

Nice simple set up and then gripped my from the first vocal note, taking me on a journey I had to go on. There was no stopping once I heard you start. The sincerity of this heartfelt song sung so well it took my senses and wouldn't let go. Truly a beautiful song and performance. Loved it! - @luzcypher


"brand new to openmic and coming in big. What a voice. Great song and fantastic playing @emilykeener. We are so pleased to have you apart of the community. " - @soundlegion


Absolutely moving and captivating performance. This original song of yours is truly a work of musical art. You certainly know know something about songwriting as your soul just cascades into a flowing essence of emotions and a layered depth of the human emotions with a beautiful, yet heart tugging lamenting of pain subtletly lined along the melodies of this entry. I am very happy you have found and joined us here on Steemit and are now a part of our Music Open Mic community. We welcome you warmly and your inspiring and refined talents and I can't get those wonderful melodies, especially the chorus to stop replaying. You certainly have made a thudding impact on your first attempt. I look forward to your next entry, more originals please, thanks for sharing this full version exclusive with us. A gift of music indeed and one for the playlist. :) - @verbal-d



3rd Place

Steemit Open Mic Week 73 Silhouette Original --- by @danshawmusic


I mean, wow - these two artists just keep killin’ it week after week! This is the second week in a row that together, they have captured my number 3 spot. You know, I’m trying to make room for fresh faces and all, but Dan and Eden make that rather hard to do sometimes. Straight away, I was hypnotized by the steady drive of Eden’s guitar riff. The captivating lyrics Dan began to sing complimented the essence of that drive quite nicely. The chorus ramp and move back into the verses was flawless along with their intermittent harmonies. This is a finely crafted original song and performance that’s ready for prime time. - @passion-ground


"Dan Shaw you got golden lungs that drag me straight into heaven, I love your voice and you and michelle sound wonderful together you guys blend apples and crust and I adore your original songwriting work. Great writers the both of you" - @soundlegion


You had me at the first note but the lyrics and harmonies really felt good to the sould. Keep up the beautiful music ladies. It's really special and a joy to listen too. - @luzcypher


4th Place

Open Mic Week 73 Wings Orginal Nathan Kaye One Man Festival --- by @nathankaye

"So we normally dont put people in our top 5 picks if they places the previous week, but I just gotta stand up here for @nathankaye the guy is an instrumental rock god in the making that just blows my mind, what a great explanation of how you built this track and killer vibes, you seem like one hell of a One man concert that would be a blast to hang out with and make music with. woo" - @soudlegion


Aside from the fact that @nathankaye is a musical force to be reckoned with, I specially find his performance magical because of its intensity. Leave nothing for later, leave it all on stage. I think he knows exactly what I'm talking about, I would be extremely surprised if Nathan would finish one of his shows and then go ride a bike or something, the intensity with which he performs is that of a man determined to leave his musical footprint behind.

It's not hard for me to relate to this song. Like many of us who are here today are looking for our truth, constantly swimming against the current of the norm. Extracting from mundane life bits and pieces of inspiration, things that gives us wings as he calls them. - @meno


Nathan is a rocker to the core. Besides being so talented he's basically a one man band, the sound is just awesome. Rich and thick rattlesnake rock. The soul is just oozing out all over the place and I'm loving it! The best thing about Nathan is he's not trying to be Nathan, he just is! And it's awesome! Rock on my friend. - @luzcypher


5th Place

Steemit Open Mic Week 73 Original Song Jailbird --- by @danieldyemusic


This song to me is special in ways that I may not be able to convey properly. I'm a firm believer that the most powerful thing we have to give, the most precious gift is simply love. We think sometimes that loving is a luxury, as if it's something we can do without, but the truth is very different.

Someone who has nothing, had something to give, had love to give and the inspiration of this song reminded me of such a fact. Yes the song is catchy, yes the guitar riff is cool, but the story, the message... this is what music means to me, when words by themselves fall short.* - @meno


"Fantastic original song, full of that blues rock swag and an awesome vocal. Love your harmonica and timing is professional all the way. guys got mad talent here on steemit, I love each piece he delivers to us and today was no exception. Brilliant song!" - @soundlegion

Back to back bird-related songs. This open mic week definitely has taken flight and its course is soaring over the clear skies of talent and skill. I really like the wordplay and context of the title. The back drop story of this song is what really ties it all together and I also got that sense of hope and inspiration from the symbolic meaning and representation of forbidden friendship amongst chains and control. Your wonderful guitar playing, guiding and revealing singing of truth and overall musicianship brought you to the top 5 with this treat of a storytelling creation. Birds are fragile, as are the confines of the our human emotions and the things we take for granted such as freedom and this original entry highlighted a lot of the things which are precious and available to us who have such privilege and luxury to even enjoy the small things in life. Thank you for this resounding and impacting reminder. Beautiful song and I look forward to your next one. - @verbal-d


Very interesting back story to the song. You delivered it well. - @luzcypher

Congratulations to all those who have placed, and to all those who have received @luzcypher's most honorable mentions! As it is, week in and week out, all those who participate are in effect "winners!" Much love to each and every one of you!

Thanks so much, mate! 🙏🏽
And massive thanks for all the time you put in to listen and assess... 🙏🏽👍🏾

Very true that's always the philosophy of the open mic community, we all are winners, everyone's gets paid. Lool

Loading...

Aww.. 😊
Thank you guys for the win. I knew this song would get noticed but i really didnt expect it to get the win. Its very specific and maybe unusual to some of the regular listeners, but i guess you have a good ear after 73 openmics here. 😁
The interesting thing about this song is thats it extremely rare to even hear it live in mainstream venues, outside of a few large bands and big name musicians. And even those you can count on the fingers of one hand.
Since its a folk song we treat this rendition as our own. When my band started playing i was actually known in Split within the musician community as: "the girl that sings Jovana". 😂
Its a really special song.

This week ill be participating again with .......... 😁 I wont spoil it. I think you guys will apreciate it as well. If it does well with the audience it will maybe attract attention to a very under appreciated tagg here on Steemit. See you guys. And have a great day. ❤❤❤

Special thanks to @verbal-d and @soundlegion for the pick. You had me on the edge the whole day trying to figure out the rules, what my chances are now, did i win...
