Calling all performers for Saturday June 3!


Hat's Off Day is a big deal in Burnaby on Saturday June 3, with a 20 block street fair, bands, show and shine, food kiosks, and parade. It is a not for profit community event that is super fun...

Would you like to come and perform at the West Tent near Boundary and Hastings (@ Esmond) where all the best music is happening? We already have the Urbana Big Band at 11 am (after the parade), and other ensembles slated to showcase as well.

Sound system and most backline provided, as well as some backing musicians on call. A great place to do a short set to showcase your originals or whatever you have!

Let me know if you are interested.... would love to have you!!!  RSVP toptalent@sassabrass.com

Easy parking for performers, too! All in good fun and a place to strut your stuff.

Pros, weekend warriors, karaoke stars, singers, or school bands all welcome....

Let’s Make it Fair for Musicians

Gabriel and colleagues,

As musicians, we understand better than anyone that music has value and we along with other artists should be fairly compensated our work.

Under our current laws, this isn't the case. In fact, music copyright laws are so outdated that many were written before the internet even existed. The good news is that a new, bipartisan bill has been introduced that will benefit musicians and other artists who create the work.

Add your voice to the chorus by asking your member of Congress to support the Fair Play Fair Pay Act.

This bill aims to restore a core principle of fairness to music: People who work should be paid for their work, particularly when others are making a profit from it.

Support for performance rights has never been stronger and momentum towards real copyright reform is building every day.

Add your voice to the chorus by asking your member of Congress to support the Fair Play Fair Pay Act.

In Unity,
Ray Hair
AFM International President
