 * I am using wordpress to create a blog that has news about music, and I want to
   create a gig guide in the sidebar. I want to do this by linking the calendar 
   to a separate database than the one that has the blog posts, but I want them 
   to be displayed on the same page. Is this at all possible?

 * yes! But it will be easier if you migrate other tables to WP database.

 * This all depends on what this other database is. Is it custom made database with
   custom made calendar files? Is it a wordpress database – this having duplicate
   tablenames?
 * Depending on the systems and the architecture behind it – it can be a rather 
   large task. Consider using an iframe for the calendar content – I very seldom
   recommends iframes, but they have their brighter sides (like this).
 * Make a mental note of how familiar you are with SQL-queries and programming –
   as this could require some work.
