He has played almost every major festival and club in the US and many abroad, including Bonnaroo, Bumbershoot, Edinburgh Fringe Fest, Outside Lands, The Hollywood Bowl and The Horde Tour. One of his bands, The New Orleans Klezmer Allstars, has played at 23 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festivals in a row. NOKAS is also featured on the cover of Seth Rogovoy’s book The Essential Klezmer. Hartman’s original recording, “Not Too Eggy” is included in the 2004 collection Doctors, Professors, Kings and Queens: The Big Ol’ Box Set of New Orleans Music.
