Now there’s a reason to join the union: Because it’s ours!
![]() |
For years those of us touring on the folk, bluegrass and acoustic music circuit have led a solitary life. One night stands. Unpredictable working conditions. No health insurance. No pension. No way to get good, affordable insurance for our instruments. No one to stand up for us and help us get the respect we deserve as hardworking professionals.
![]() Things have changed and now we have an AFM local just for us, Local 1000, the North American Traveling Musicians Union.
We’re a democratically run organization created by and for traveling musicians, people just like you. And no matter where you live in Canada or the U.S., Local 1000 is for you!
As many of us can tell you, the people who do join Local 1000 do so after thinking about it for sometime. So come back to the website, contact our members, view the videos about contracts, ask all of the questions you can think of.
And, if your band joins all at the same time, the initiation fee is waived for the all of the band members!
Then join us!
