The FM Kicks Band was Established in 1975 by Dr. Edward Christianson to provide local musicians opportunities to explore jazz musical literature, improve jazz, and socialize with other musicians. Today, as a 501(c)3, our passion for music extends into education as we work with local schools to promote and preserve America's authentic musical art form, Jazz!
