The Nashville Association of Musicians represents over 2600 of Music City's finest musicians, including the Nashville Symphony, studio players, road musicians, singer/songwriters, bandleaders, arrangers, and producers. There are many reasons to join us, but none is more important than the simple concept of strength in numbers. As a talented musician, your real strength in the music business comes from working and bargaining collectively with other musicians. By keeping an open ear to the diverse needs of our members and adjusting our strategies and policies to reflect the rapidly changing reality of today's music business, the Nashville Association of Musicians continues to thrive as one the strongest and most productive Locals in the AFM. We can help you protect yourself and your music.
