The CLMA is a national, member-based, not-for-profit trade association. Founded in 2014, it represents the stages upon which our artists stand and the workers and supply chains that surround them. “Behind the people behind live music”, the CLMA works to entrench the conditions for concerts to thrive from coast to coast to coast. Members include organizations whose core business is live music: clubs, venues, concert promoters, music festivals, performing arts centres, talent agents, suppliers, production crew, and more.
