Now is the right time to become an American Federation of Musicians member. From ragtime to rap, from the early phonograph to today's digital recordings, the AFM has been there for its members. And now there are more benefits available to AFM members than ever before, including a multi-million dollar pension fund, excellent contract protection, instrument and travelers insurance, work referral programs and access to licensed booking agents to keep you working.

As an AFM member, you are part of a membership of more than 80,000 musicians. Experience has proven that collective activity on behalf of individuals with similar interests is the most effective way to achieve a goal. The AFM can negotiate agreements and administer contracts, procure valuable benefits and achieve legislative goals. A single musician has no such power.

The AFM has a proud history of managing change rather than being victimized by it. We find strength in adversity, and when the going gets tough, we get creative - all on your behalf.

Like the industry, the AFM is also changing and evolving, and its policies and programs will move in new directions dictated by its members. As a member, you will determine these directions through your interest and involvement. Your membership card will be your key to participation in governing your union, keeping it responsive to your needs and enabling it to serve you better. To become a member now, visit www.afm.org/join.

Read the interview with Downchild here. 

“I use two guitars during each show. One is a Fender Stratocaster (1974) in standard tuning. When I play slide, I use an Epiphone Riviera in open D tuning. These guitars have always been comfortable for me to play. The Epiphone has a big full sound, which I like for slide playing. I use medium picks and 10-46 strings on my Stratocaster and 11-52 strings on my Epiphone. I don’t use a capo. My amp is a Fender M-80, which I purchased quite some time ago.”

“For harmonicas, I use four or five different keys of harmonica at any given performance. I have always used Hohner Marine Band and Hohner Special 20, and occasionally other blues harps. I also play a Hohner 2016 chromatic harmonica. The Hohner Marine Band (10-hole style) was the only harmonica readily available on the market when I started playing in 1964. I use a Shure 57 mic for harmonica.”
