Due to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) we signed with Local 1000 of the American Federation of Musicians,

we  committed to several important guarantees for the performers we invite to play in our house concert series.  Among these are a healthy meal; a place to stay if they need it; and a quiet listening room for our guests.  In addition,

performers always keep 100% of their CD sales.

Perhaps even more importantly, we have negotiated a “scale wage” and make a pension contribution on behalf of everyone who performs here.  Whether or not the artists are currently members of Local 1000, this money accrues interest and is available to them when they retire or become disabled.  It is this commitment to the PEOPLE... in addition to their music... that is reflected in our deciding to become a unionized venue.

We will be posting a video soon that explains a bit more about “FairFolk” to our guests, singer-songwriters, and other venues considering joining this effort to support our folk community.  In the meantime, feel free to visit www.Local1000.com.

Thanks for your interest in learning more!
