Music for America

Music and politics are for the people!

About Me



MFA engages people in politics through music communities.

How?
There are bands out there who would like to bring a positive political message to their fans. There are fans who want to help spread that message. MFA brings them together.

All you need to do is listen to some good music. We’re at 3 - 8 concerts every night. Register voters at the show and you get in free.

My Interests

music, bands, culture, politics, you, your little sister or brother who can vote in 2008, local issues, national issues, the drug war, access to education and jobs and health care, hooking up at shows, having fun...

I'd like to meet:

If you have ever not eaten dinner because you were busy listening to a new album, we want to know you .

If you have ever thought "wow, the world is kind of a %#&ed up place. I wonder if I can do anything", we want to know you .

If you have ever wondered if there is some way to see awesome concerts for free while registering people to vote, we want to know you .
If you have any idea how our coffee maker works, we want to know you .
