the Open Mic Union

Mission: Provide direct & indirect support to the artists, service industry employees & venues holding on to the OG Austin culture underpinning our claim to the 'Live Music Capital of the World.'

To truly combat the scourge of Austin's culture erosion, we will fight fire with Austin's primary cultural tenet - LIVE MUSIC along with our newest cultural bastion as the Stand-Up Capital of the World.


Condo developers took out the Horseshoe on Lamar (sign above), where the legends of Austin musicians cut their teeth. When that same private equity-driven greed comes for the Saxon Pub, Broken Spoke, Butler Pitch 'n' Putt or any other cultural icons across Austin, we will fight.


Similar to the fight required of every artist to earn a livable wage on stage, we refuse to let this hellacious greed threaten the OG Austin culture that the world associates with 'The Live Music Capital of the World.'
