#BuildingTheInfrastructure: Chicago’s Open Mics.. Building the Infrastructure is an editorial series dedicated to documenting the people, businesses, and organizations constructing Chicago’s independent music industry from the ground up. Rather than focusing solely on viral moments or chart success, this series explores the ecosystem that makes those moments possible.. The open mic has been extremely important to the foundation of Chicago’s music ecosystem, scene, industry, and the larger infrastructure being created around all three. Before an artist receives a major booking, press coverage, management, or industry attention, the open mic is often where they first learn how to stand in front of a room and trust their own voice.. It is where artists test unfinished material. It is where they learn how to read a crowd. It is where they develop confidence, stage presence, discipline, and community. Most importantly, it is one of the few spaces where an artist does not always need a large following, industry connection, or cosign before being allowed to perform. The open mic gives artists an opportunity to be recognized while they are still becoming.. Head to our website to read the rest of the review.. Link in our bio..
