street musicians
Curbside live entertainment
Street musicians are performers who play music in public spaces—sidewalks, subway stations, plazas—typically for tips from passersby.
The practice is also called busking, and the performers buskers.
Street musicians range from solo guitarists to full ensembles, from conservatory-trained players to self-taught amateurs: The street musicians in the French Quarter play traditional jazz.
