While the Bay area seems to be amply represented on the list, a couple of other areas are missing, like southern california and Detroit... a couple of pretty famous names are also missing... but I think its best to let individuals point out their own rather than giving out other people's names/contact info
edit: "Famous names" i.e. Trichy sankaran sir

Mr. Raghukumar, I don't know what your source was, but there are some major omissions. Except for a couple of names, your list is conspicuous by the absence of the well-known performers residing in NA. Here are some names that I can list off the top of my head:
Detroit area:
1. Madurai Sundar (vocal)
2. Kalpana Venkat (violin)
3. Jayashankar Balan (violin)
4. Srikanth Mallajosyula (violin)
5. Vinod Seetharaman (mridangam)
6. Rohan Krishnamurthy (mridangam)
East coast:
1. Kiranavali (vocal)
2. Radha Ramji (vocal)
3. B Balasubramaniam (vocal)
4. A Ananthakrishnan (violin)
5. Radhika Mani (violin)
6. Suresh Ramachandran (mridangam)
7. Rajna Swaminathan (mridangam)
I am sure there are many more artistes here than I have listed. I especially think that Southern California has some good artistes. Maybe someone from there can help you compile those names.
I don't have the contact info of any of the artistes above, but the good old google search should definitely yield positive results.

shashi has pointed it out correctly, the names i was referring to in my earlier post are the ones he is mentioning
Since he has already mentioned all of these vidwans, let me add one more name: Palghat Anand (A Ananthakrishnan's son and Raghu sir's grandson).
I dont want to get in trouble with my friends by mentioning all their names as well, so we will let the southern california musicians identify themselves (several are members of this forum).

If anyone from the Southern California region knows of any artists not on the list, please let me know! I will update the list immediately.
Thanks
Thanks

I congragulate&COMMEND YOU FOR YOUR GREAT INITIATIVE! I am constantly in the situation of arranging accmpanists for many leading artits from India who visit North America; I live in Los Alamos, NM which was chosen by Oppeheimer MANHATTANProject( for making the first atom bomb!) for its REMOTNESS!.....Also I am a member of the Cleveland aradhana organising committee & we are MOST interested in locating& presenting artists who are already in North America. I do not pretend to either know who is around let alone claim to know how GOOD they are. As one who learnt Vocal, Flute, & Mridangam from leading vidvans for close to 10 years & decided being a scientist is EASIER I know that to get anywhere in Carnatic Music one has to be exceptional & that alone does not guarentee recognition
As Raghukumar has magnificiently taken the initiative I REQUESYT ANY ONE WHO FITS THIS CATEGORY to please get on hisLIST. I promise to check that list EVERY WEEK. In addition I encourage anyone interested to contact me at vkv43034@yahoo.com
