You know when you go out on the town and disocver a great band? Thank a musician. Annapolis has a very robust music scene and the talent in our musicians runs deep. The only problem is that it's a tough way to make a living! Enter the Annapolis Musicians Fund For Musicians, or AMFM (much easier). Today, we chat with PJ Thomas who is the President of this fantastic non-profit!
With anything in life, $#!% happens and musicians are not exempt. Gigs get canceled, fingers get broken, and all of a sudden making ends meet becomes very difficult. AMFM has a fund for them to help bridge the gap. If there is a death, there is a fund to lend a hand. Or if there's a pandemic (as if) and all the venues shut down--there's a fund for that. AMFM is ingrained into the music community and they don't stop with musicians. They award scholarships to students looking to study music in college. They award grants to non-profits who have a music component to their program. And they put on shows!
Perhaps the most well-known is the Annual AMFM Christmas Show, followed by the quartely "In the Vane of" shows. AMFM leaves their mark on nearly every aspect of the music scene, and PJ tells it best!
Have a listen!
