The Ramona Music Alliance (RMA) was founded in 2022 by local musicians Jon Hasz and Ashley E. Norton. 
The idea is to make the amazing music scene that is already organically growing into an official organization. 
The goal is to continue to encourage and support live music venues and each other, 
help build audiences and share information and resources. 
Ramona is a happy place with great music and wine! 
We hope to expand and continue to watch it grow together, as the amazing community we are.
