AFM Local #300
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Local 300 of the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada. The AFM is the largest organization in the world dedicated to representing the interests of professional musicians. Local 300 represents the finest professional musicians in the Merrimack Valley region.
AFM members, who number almost 100,000, perform all styles of music—Alternative Rock, lassical, Pop, Gospel, Jazz, Country, Folk, Rock, Big Band, Reggae, Contemporary Christian, etc..
With such active members as Roberta Flack, Santana, Yo-Yo Ma, Sheila E, Suzanne Vega, The Goo Goo Dolls, Willie Nelson, and Brandford Marsalis, there is a strong representation of major recording individuals and groups.
The AFM has been promoting and protecting Professional Musicians for over 110 years. #300 has been serving Merrimack Valley area musicians since October 1, 1898 and continues to be an effective advocate for Musicians' Rights in the Workplace (be that a Nightclub, a Symphonic Stage, in a Recording Studio, or on Tour).
The AFM and #300 protect the recorded works musicians produce from being exploited, and protect our members live performances by providing several types of benefit programs that help them to build successful careers.
Members of #300 of the AFM are secure in knowing that their organization is actively lobbying to promote legislation and public awareness that protects musicians' interests, negotiating Collective Bargaining Agreements with the Recording, Motion Picture and Jingle Industries, TV Networks, National Public TV and Radio, and providing excellent wages and working conditions for its members.
