Busking In Your City?: A blog about busking and where you can find freedom in your city to play.
Busking was a dream of mine for a long time. I had this idea that I could figure out how to live on the streets and be the happiest person in the world. I wanted to do something with my life that was pure joy, and busking seemed like it would fulfill all of my desires. Freedom, music, money, art and adventure.
I’ve been lucky enough to have done many different things in my life so far as a musician, such as: playing in bands, booking shows, recording albums, touring, teaching private lessons and performing at corporate events. Busking has been one of the most fun things I’ve done so far because it’s really nothing like anything else.
It is pure performance art, and you get to interact with people who are walking by and you can see their reactions right away. If a song is good or bad, they’ll let you know. It’s just a great feeling when you’re able to connect with someone who is passing through your city and make their day better by just being there playing music for them.
