Just a thought but... what if the musicians/groups kept something like
an iCal calendar that would be automatically published everytime it was
changed, and the website would simply build a calendar off that. I use
phpicalendar to do the .ics calendar thing using some iCal-published
calendars for a very similar purpose. Of course, this depends on their
use of an ics compatible calendaring program, and of course their very
willingness to actually maintain such a calendar. 
Just a thought.
