FMP creates this vital atmosphere and consistent community for Philadelphia. The city is an unmissable stop for touring musicians precisely as a direct result of this series' devotion to building a safe and reliable community for sonic risk and artistic experimentation. β€œ - Jordan Sand

β€œI went on a 4 date solo tour in the Northeastern US this past spring. Fire Museum Presents was the second show. It was a totally safe space for me to present my strange, unusual and sometimes challenging music for open ears, amongst two other experimental and category-defying acts. (cont)
