The AFM is the largest organization in the world dedicated to representing the interests of professional musicians. Local 294 represents many of the finest professional musicians in the Susquehanna Valley area.
AFM members, who number over 60,000, perform all styles of music—alternative rock, classical, pop, gospel, jazz, country, folk, rock, big band, reggae, contemporary Christian, etc.. With such active members as Bruce Springsteen, Roberta Flack, Santana, Yo-Yo Ma, Sheila E, Suzanne Vega, The Goo Goo Dolls, Willie Nelson, and Branford Marsalis, there is a strong representation of major recording individuals and groups.
The AFM has been promoting and protecting professional musicians for over 120 years. Local 294 has been serving the Susquehanna Valley area musicians since 1903 and continues to be an effective advocate for musicians’ rights in the workplace (be that a nightclub, a symphony stage, in a recording studio, or on tour). The AFM and Local 294 protect the recorded works musicians produce from being exploited, and they protect our members live performances by providing several types of benefit programs that help them to build successful careers.
Members of Local 294 of the AFM are secure in knowing that their organization is actively lobbying to promote legislation and public awareness that protects musicians’ interests, negotiating collective bargaining agreements with the recording industry, motion picture industry, jingle industry, TV networks, National Public TV and Radio, and providing excellent wages and working conditions for its members.
