Today, I take you through my full busking setup, including my portable, battery-powered live music rig, and walk you through how I choose a location for street performance. If you’ve ever wondered where to busk, what gear to use, or how much money you can make busking, this is a real-world test using my actual experience.

I’ll show you what it’s actually like busking in a small tourist town like this!
—what worked, what didn’t, and whether this spot is truly worth it or musicians. At the end, we count the earnings and rate this location so you can decide if it’s a good busking spot.

If you’re a street musician, singer-songwriter, or just curious about busking income, this series is all about testing real locations, real setups, and real results.
