busking

Gonna be trying to attend the annual Folk Life Festival in Seattle,WA this year. It’s held at the end of May- and I’m gonna be round there bangin’ on a washboard, and hoping to jam with any and all. It’s also cohesive with apple picking season, (so I’ve heard) and may be a good opportunity for...

I've searched high and wide on here and have found no evidence anyone actively does this. It seems like a logical step in a cashless society and with all the current hype, everybody and their mother has a Bitcoin wallet with $20 in it. I often find myself out of change soon after visiting a city...

Hey guys, thought I'd introduce myself and what I'm looking to do. I am Sawyer (thattrombonekyd - instagram) and I hail from Topeka, KS. I currently live in Fort Wayne, IN. I have realized that I don't want the normal 9-5 lifestyle anymore ,and all I want to do is make awesome music and travel...

Glad to find the community. it's been awhile since I've been on the road, took a short detour that ended up being an extended stay. But it's all good, I needed to reconnect with friends & family after being on the road for 15 years. And so, I am looking at eliminating years of accumulation &...

I was curious if anyone ever busked or spanged in costume? Like those wacky superheroes on Hollywood boulevard? I'd love to hear your stories? I've decided that my insanity has progressed to the point of needing an alter ego. So I will create some cardboard samurai armor and see how it goes...

Check this out: This is an Ibanez Piccolo guitar. It is a 1/3 scale guitar, tuned to A (capo 5th fret on a regular guitar) http://www.ibanez.com/products/ag_detail17.php?year=2017&area_id=2&cat_id=3&series_id=98&data_id=124&color=CL01 It sounds amazing, and is super light with steel...

So, I've busked before, mostly in places where its extremely legal (Asheville) or in my hometown, very rarely out. But I'm doing this hole DIY tour and can't be hindered by my at times anxiety fueled apprehensions. I'm currently in Jacksonville, FL and couldn't really find any internet low down...

Do you have busking experience? Do you have a plethora of songs that you know like the back of your hand? Can you make up song structures on the fly? Is your busking strategy consist of playing an instrument and singing? If this is you at all, then we should really be friends, and busk together...

I made this profile a year or so ago, and I never actually ended up going anywhere. Now, I'm finally doing it. I've got the opportunity, I'm getting my car fixed up, and its summer. I'm here in the introduction section in order to hopefully build friendships with other dwellers and people who...

Hello everyone, First of all I'm not really sure if that question has been raised before, if so I couldn't find the right thread. So this is a very bad video from youtube, which is more or less the same as the one I saw, but which is on facebook and in french (so I can't really post it here)...

Growing up around Albany was a great way to learn the city. As I got older and came into being a musician, I started busking on the streets. It was an amazing experience I wish all of you could have. Here's some tips if you find yourself a bit short of cash. In Albany, it's legal to busk...

I've read a few threads on here about Iceland but I'm gonna start a new one so it's current and noticeable. Anyways, going to Iceland this summer and looking for any and all information. Places to squat, things to know, possible contacts, etc. Looking to do a workshare in return for a place to...

I'm curious about various aspects of sleeping rough in NYC in winter. I'm not one for cold and roughing it in cities as big as NYC always puts me on edge, the two combined appears nightmarish. Has anyone here gone through it? Are there particular spots that are dry, warmer? Are there...

Hi guys, i travel around in a 40ft skoolie. Been livin the travelin', busking lifestyle for about 7 years. I love it. It can be rough, but I think it builds character. I want to thank many of you, for being you. I've been quite inspired to live my life by all the dirty, krusty, freight...

Just bought this bad boy. Hoping to learn some songs and busk some traditional Irish music. People would get super stoked on my Martin Backpacker guitar, and drop me cash just because it looked cool. Im wondering what that effect will be with this thing. Anyone out there busking with...

I've begun my life as a traveler as of a little over a month ago with reggae music as my means of making money (guitarist/ song writer) My homie and I bought an rv, where I'll be most likely resided for the winter, where after I'll be hitting the road solo and on foot, as I foresee this being...

Hey Everyone Name is SuneeShines. I have been reading STP for a few months because travel and adventure is just really interesting to me. I don't really have any qualms with working my dead end jobs (as long as I can start in the Afternoon). I don't have a wanderlust that can only be...
