Debra Recommends Local 1000 American Federation of Musicians
Local 1000 was created by and for traveling musicians. No matter where you live in Canada or the U.S., if you tour on the folk, bluegrass and acoustic music circuit, Local 1000 is for you, working together to make things better for all traveling folk, bluegrass, blues and acoustic musicians. (Their members also include performance poets and sign language interpreters.)
You will perform under union contracts, with union power to back them up. Instruments, computers and equipment are insured for replacement value, at rates you can afford.
