Description

The Saskatoon Musicians’ Association was chartered on October 31, 1910 as Local 553 of the American Federation of Musicians.  Our professional members performed music for the movies of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton during the silent movie era of the teens and 20s.  Along the more than 100 year history of Local 553 we been home to talented artists such as: Kenny Shields, The Northern Pikes, Wide Mouth Mason, Brian Plummer, jazz music guitar icon Gordie Brandt, mainstay Canadian folk artists Humphrey and the Dumptrucks, Don Freed, The Deep Dark Woods,  and Kacy & Clayton.  Our current membership ranges from the members of the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra to The Sheepdogs, and just about every recording artist from every musical genre in between.
