Judy, what sort of music do you perform? Are you also interested in coffee house work (paid) Might want to check out Live Art here in Vermont. They put out a publication (somewhat bimonthly) on the folk scene up here. They also do a coffee house series, and book artists with another venue about an hour away. The festivals in this area are: The Champlain Valley Festival in Burlington in early August, and the New World Festival (french Canadian and celtic) in Randolph VT. over Labor Day weekend, sponsored by the Chandlar Cultural Foundation.Good luck.
