About once a month I get an e-mail from someone trying to find contacts, either 
in the Boston area where I live, or elsewhere, so as to get some gigs to 
finance a tour. It is, indeed, a vital area of supporting the people who make 
the music that I love so that they can afford to make the much.

I haven't a clue as to how to help them. Is there an online resource of clubs 
that are hospitable to wandering performers of various types of Jewish music, 
be it traditional or ranging to the avant garde? Is there a better answer than 
to suggest that the artists contact everyone in the cities they wish to visit, 
whose e-mail addresses they can glean from the klezmershack directories?

Ideas? Things of which I should have been aware prior to asking the question?

P.S. The immediate cause of this e-mail is the suggestion that the brilliant 
Argentian Klezmer/Jazz duo, "Klezmer en Buenos Aires" who were just at the 
Jewish Music Festival in London, thence at the Knitting Factory in New York, 
should do some serious touring in this hemisphere.
