I'm pretty new to busking but I just did my first solo act tonight and I'm hooked. I live in Long Beach, CA, so I'm looking for good places to perform in the area, preferably without a permit. I know about Santa Monica and Venice Beach, but does anyone else have any suggestions? I've been playing bari sax with a foot tambourine and it's worked out great! level 1 I don't really know the area, but have you tried searching "best busking spots [city name]"? level 2 Yeah- actually I tried their downtown area and it was great. I was a little concerned that I'd be a nuisance, but then a woman from a local store asked me to play in front of it. I also ended up on a city facebook page! level 1 I used to hang out by Newport Pier - the one where Charlie's Chili is - and there were occasional buskers there, I've seen 'em get no hassles from the cops. I was last down there in 2003 and there was a Mexican dude on the pier itself and he was singing and playing a guitar and had boocoo bucks in his case. level 1 There's a place called 3rd street promenade that might work ... I've seen people busk for years near and on the Newport Pier, you'd just probably better keep it soft and mellow with that sax. I've also heard of people getting a spot at one of the swapmeets and playing there. About CommunityThe art of street performing. busking and street performance.
