The Louisville
Federation of Musicians
Our band list is divided into types of music: Rock,
Country, Variety, Swing, Folk, Classical, etc. We provide the name of the group,
a link if available, a brief description, and
a contact name and phone number. You may then contact the musicians directly to
inquire as to availability and price. Please be aware that live music
costs no more than a DJ and in some cases less.
If you are looking for a soloist or a duo in a particular instrument or combination,
please advise us and we will provide a listing of our various players (e.g. harp and
violin for a wedding).
Many of our groups play at public events and/or have tapes and CDs available to assist you in making a choice for your special event. Check the Concert Schedule page to see who's playing this month.
