Tucson Federation of Musicians

For over a century, the Tucson Federation of Musicians has been dedicated to protecting the interests of professional musicians in Tucson and Southern Arizona. As AFM Local 33, we provide essential services including free musician referrals, advocacy for fair wages and working conditions, and legal contract support. Our organization actively negotiates collective bargaining agreements across industries, ensuring musicians receive equitable compensation and benefits. With a focus on community engagement, we supply skilled performers for events ranging from weddings to corporate functions while offering music lessons through qualified instructors. Our members benefit from international referral networks, pension fund contributions, and specialized insurance programs.

We champion legislative efforts to secure public funding for the arts and protect musicians' rights through collective action. By maintaining rigorous standards for booking agents and performance contracts, we ensure professional integrity and financial security for our members. Our commitment to transparency and fair hiring practices fosters trust within the local music community. Through decades of experience, we have established ourselves as a trusted advocate for musicians' professional and personal welfare. Our services extend to immigration assistance for cross-border performances and comprehensive equipment insurance, addressing the unique needs of working musicians.
