I founded the Finger Lakes Independent Music Association (FLIMA) in 2010. In the years since we have worked to create opportunities for musicians to network, connect, and mentor each other. FLIMA also advocated for musician’s fair pay, creative freedom, and professional development. And we curate and produce programming to engage the community through the arts. On the production side of the music business we have worked to produce festivals, private events, concerts, and workshops. Our next festival happens April 4-7, 2024 in Geneva, NY. Visit genevajazzfestival.com for more information.

Please take a moment to view and subscribe to the FLIMA YouTube Music Channel. We’ve added a bunch of new playlists to showcase the breadth of talent we have scheduled to perform at next month’s Geneva Jazz Festival 2024.
