The Bay Area Arts & Music Organization (BAAMO) from the Tampa Bay area of Florida, is a group of ten volunteers who creatively raise money all year through benefit concerts, selling coffee, brownies, beer at yard sales, and getting donations from Tampa Bay music fans in order to host the Florida Bandango and give the performers making the trip some gas money. BAAMO also has released three cds of local bands. There is no corporate sponsor, no multilateral tie-ins. No one in the organization gets paid one cent (unfortunately).
