Are you listed in our referral program? Last month we referred pianists, drummers, bass players, and sax players for gigs. We also met with one of our members to discuss contract protection and pension benefits. For recording work, those contracts are also used to make sure you receive royalty payments. Last month we assisted the various royalty funds in tracking down documentation for albums by several artists including Pitbull, Don Omar, JD Natasha, Paulina Rubio, and even for the Gleason Show from the 1960's and 1970's.02/01/16 Membership Benefits
