Stop and hear the music!

Washington Post gets the story.

Happiest Man on the Block



I love this stuff... Here's a guy without hands and legs- still rockin' away on the keyboard with the biggest grin you'll ever see. I love that my friend Jenn found this in NY!

Homemade Caribbean Marimba



This is cheating a bit since it's not technically a "street musician video," but this was featured on YouTube this morning and I thought, I need to post the because 1) it's outdoors / nonprofessional music and 2) it's just awesome.

Thanks PlayHanghang!
And thanks YouTube for featuring such great, original music!

Harley Davidson meets the Violin



Not often that you see someone dressed like a biker, ready to play an amazing song on the violin. Yes, it's a drastic stereotype and I apologize...

catagg took the video and survived to share it with us.

Is it Flutist, Floutest, or Flute Player?

Beautiful harp playing in Montmartre. Isn't there where Amelie's from?

Violin and Banjo Duet from the Ebony Hillbillies



These guys call themselves the Ebony Hillbillies. I really enjoy the banjo and violin together. Props to borisreitman for picking this up and posting it!

NYC's Bucket Drummer



This is my favorite video of Larry Wright and some random girl playing bucket drums in NYC. Make sure you listen all the way to the last 20 seconds for the amazing finish.

This video is from MGFX.

Trumpet and Piano Duet (by the same person)



It's hard to ignore this most famous guy from Japan. I mean, who has enough talent to play trumpet AND piano at the same time other than him? I'd like to see you try!

The Most Amazing Accordian Yet







This is pretty impressive. A man in Milan who's almost not even a performer as much as simply an artist. He's lost in his music and so he's not really playing to the crowd- he's playing to himself.

zeloan500 picked up the greatness of this man's accordion in 3 separate videos. Watch them ALL!

Play Us a Song, You're the Piano Man!



In Paris, honky tonk still rules on this street. Thanks, deardad.

Dueling Banjo and Guitar Performance



This kind of banjo and guitar dueling doesn't happen very often.

Pan Flute Guy, why are you such a playa?!



If this video was a little longer, I might follow this guy to the ends of the earth, just like that little trickster Pan for whom this flute is named.

Seattle Sax Player



I've actually SEEN this guy. He plays on First Avenue, downtown Seattle. I'll have to let him know that he's featured here on Street Music Videos! Thank you snamelcyhtomit for shooting and posting this.

A True One-Man Band



This Thia Street Entertainer can sing, play harmonica, guitar, and drums all at the same time. Multitasking? Or is there some secret stereo system behind him somewhere?

Great catch from andyondrums!

Wine Anyone?



It's hard to believe that anyone is this talented on wine glasses- but search the internet and you'll find hundreds of these... this guy, however, takes requests. And that's something to marvel at.

Happy Munich Man



This Munich man makes the very most of the one chord he knows on the cello.

Bagpipe Concert with Accordion and Guitar



This is a fantastic little video from Italy (specifically from Barga). It's beautiful combination of Iris & Italian Heritage... sort of like when my friend Kate worked at Bucca de Beppo.
