When someone calls the union to hire musicians, our referral service handles the call. We match up our members with prospective clients. If you're a Local 802 member, signing up for the referral service is easy. Go to www.Local802afm.org and click LOGIN from the grey menu bar near the upper right. Once you're logged in, click on the red link "Update My Profile," from the list on the left. When you get to the question, "Would you like to sign up for and receive e-mails for the Musicians' Referral Service?" be sure to fill in "yes." If you're a member of a group, answer the questions about group name and size. If you're a teacher, be sure to answer that question too. As you fill out this page, it's very important that you input all of the areas of work and styles that relate to you. The referral service uses these profiles to match musicians with the specific requests of the client. Often, we search our database by style of music, so if you've not provided this information, your name may not come up in the search. Many members do not have enough information listed in their profiles. The more information you give us about yourself, the better chance we have of matching you to a request that comes in. For more information, call Theresa Couture at (212) 245-4802, ext. 115, or click here.  

 

The 'Borscht Belt' is back!

Local 802 now represents the Catskills

As you may or may not know, earlier this year Local 802 was assigned new jurisdiction, which was formerly governed by AFM Local 809. The area generally follows state route 17 as it runs through Sullivan County. We recently visited our new territory, and it was a road trip through time, back to when music rang throughout the Catskills in upstate New York. Formerly known as the "Borscht Belt," this is the region where many families from New York City summered to escape the city heat. Click here to read the whole story.
