Meet Atlanta Federation of Musicians | Local 148-462 of the American Federation of Musicians

We had the good fortune of connecting with Atlanta Federation of Musicians and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hello Atlanta Federation of Musicians, let’s talk legacy – what do you want yours to be?
Atlanta Federation of Musicians is here to be a strong collective voice to protect and empower professional musicians across Georgia. Our mission is to serve and protect the work of professional musicians, to foster a culture of collectivism among our members, and to use our voice to advance the interests and needs of professional musicianship and unionism within the community.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Every day the AFM helps thousands of musicians — negotiating fair agreements, protecting ownership of recorded music, securing benefits such as health care and pension, or lobbying our legislators. The AFM is committed to raising industry standards and placing the professional musician in the foreground of the cultural landscape.

Organized in 1901, the Atlanta Federation of Musicians is a significant chapter of the AFM representing around 700 musicians throughout Georgia, including the metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Athens, Augusta, Columbus and Macon. Our professional members perform every imaginable style of music – including blues, classical, country, ethnic/world music, hip-hop, jazz, rap, rock, soul, etc…

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
We’d like to shoutout to all working musicians!! Musicians make our world a better place by bringing forth the power of music in both live and recorded mediums.
