serenader
Balcony-aimed crooner
A serenader is someone who serenades—typically a person who sings or plays music beneath another's window as a romantic gesture.
The word evokes old-fashioned courtship: The serenader stood in the garden with his guitar.
More loosely, anyone who performs music for a specific audience qualifies: Street serenaders entertained the café crowd.
