Dana Horesh’s guide to Tel Aviv’s indie and jazz scenes is expanding into long-form conversation and live performance. Singer-songwriter Anat Moshkovski opens the series

Created by Dana Horesh, Tiny Gigs describes itself as a guide to live alternative, indie and jazz music in Tel Aviv. That description covers the practical part. Across its Instagram page and dedicated website, the project recommends upcoming shows, documents performances and follows artists who tend to operate beyond the main channels of Israeli music coverage.
The newly launched Tiny Gigs podcast feels like a natural extension of that work. The camera has moved away from the edge of the stage and into the studio, giving the musicians more time to explain how they arrived there.
Built around the line “Big things happen at small gigs,” the podcast brings the sounds, people and stories of Israel’s independent and jazz scenes to the foreground. Horesh hosts musicians for direct conversations about their personal and artistic paths, the work behind their performances and the stories that rarely fit into an album announcement.
Important note: Jazz often lands in a blind spot in general music coverage, especially in Israel. Tiny Gigs follows it as an active local scene. In Horesh’s coverage, jazz shares the same map as indie rock, experimental pop and instrumental music.
For the first episode, Horesh welcomes Anat Moshkovski, a singer-songwriter, pianist and clarinetist with a singular place in the local scene. Watch and listen on YouTube and Spotify.
