General Information

Originally known as "the Painesville Local", A. F. of M. Local 657 was founded in 1939, and has served the music needs of the area ever since.

Our members, true professionals, are able to provide LIVE MUSIC for every taste, from the Classics to Rock, from Swing to Blues, from Folk to Polkas, from Country to Dixieland, we've got it all!

Surprisingly, the excitement of LIVE MUSIC is often as affordable as canned music from a DJ,
and you get the protection of a Union Contract, assuring you of the music you want, when you want it!

Below you'll find a listing of many of our fine musicians.
