JOIN THE ASHKENAZ STREET TEAM!

Street Team missions include:

  • Distributing monthly calendars & flyers
  • Passing out handbills at other shows and festivals in the Bay Area
  • Postering & flyering around town
  • Spreading news through word-of-mouth and through group e-mails

You will be compensated with Ashkenaz passes – these have no expiration date and are redeemable at all Ashkenaz shows except for benefit concerts. You'll also be joining a wonderful community, and will be given regular high-fives.

Ideal Street Team members have a strong interest in music and community, and are, or want to be, involved in the Bay Area music scenes. If you go to shows at other venues with similar audience interests as ours, all the better! We ask for a three-month minimum commitment.

E-mail Joe Balestreri, Publicity & Outreach Coordinator, at joe at ashkenaz.com to join the crew!
