The Tucson Kitchen Musicians Association (TKMA) began as a group of friends gathering regularly on Friday nights for potlucks and jammin' in the kitchen. TKMA has grown into an all-volunteer operated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 1986; tax ID #86-0514808. Our mission is to further public awareness and interest in acoustic music and other folk arts by promoting and producing the Tucson Folk Festival; one of the oldest FREE Folk/Americana music festivals in the country.
