More Artis.

Everyone from my generation has heard of Artis. He's been a Market Busker, he's been homeless and he's been the inspiration for Soundgarden's hit Spoonman. This was the first time I got to hear/see him play live and it was an amazing experience. With his arsenal of spoons - all sizes...

This kid is 15 years old. If you close your eyes you'd swear you were hearing Johnny Cash. It's just not natural that a kids voice should be so deep. Vinnie Miranda is one of the Pike Place Market buskers. He announced that he's on his way to work on his first album with Johnny Cash Jr.

Though most buskers were taking their turn at various spots throughout the Market, the event organizers had set up this antique car as a "stage" for the buskers. It may be hard to see, but this guy is playing a saw. Too bad I can't share the sound here with you!
