COMPETITION 

Each month we host an open mic competition in the Duck Pin Room of Union Craft Brewing (1700 W 41st St #420, Baltimore, MD 21211).

Two original songs (up to 10 minutes) are performed by an unsigned act of up to 3 people. No drum kits, effects, loops, pedals, tracks, or amps. Performances are judged in the following equally weighted categories:

​

  1. Songwriting

  2. Instrument skill

  3. Vocal quality

  4. Stage presence

  5. Audience reaction

 

After all performances, the top two return to the stage for one last original song that has not been played that night. The judges pick a final winner of the evening who will be eligible to compete in our end of year bracket competition.

​​

 PRIZES 

Every performance will be video recorded and made available online. Prizes for top spots include a photo session, studio recording time, opening spots at local venues, amongst other rewards. Winners of each event will be added to our website with a link to their music and will be given a Brew Tunes laurel for promotion.
