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.

Fox News Host Hits Drummer with Double-Headed Ax

  -  

The AFM is always against the mistreatment of musicians and while that usually means making sure they are getting properly compensated for their performances (among many other things). It shouldn’t need stating that the AFM is also strongly against axes being thrown at performing musicians…

This video is from a “Fox & Friends” co-host Pete Hegseth throwing an ax at a target and missing completely. He didn’t hit the bull’s-eye but he managed to directly hit West Point marching band drummer Jim Prosperie standing on the other side of the target. Luckily, it was the broadside of the double-sided axe that hit him and there were no serious injuries.

Jim Prosperie later said, “Poor decision, obvious negligence, should not have happened, could have been avoided…I’m feeling blessed on Father’s day with my 5 children, alive and with all limbs.”
