The FMA (Freelance Musicians’ Association) was established in 1998 as an international grass roots organization comprised of instrumentalists, vocalists, musical support staff and supporters of live music. It is dedicated to furthering the respective interests of its members and to providing specific services required by musicians who perform primarily in small concert venues, nite clubs, community halls, and at a wide variety of public and/or private events.

The FMA fully supports the Object of the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada (AFM) and is determined to work closely with the Federation in helping to find solutions to the many unique problems faced by our members. We will work toward the goal of being granted Player Conference status by the AFM.
