I did not have dancing banana playing a saxaphone at the beach on my bingo card but here we are. This was giving me lots of "Girl from Ipanema" vibes but I wasn't 100% sure. #losangeles #california #santamonicapier #saxophone #livemusic

Rudy is carrying what appears to be a regular acoustic guitar and then he starts playing it. I really like the twangy and psychedelic sound! #losangeles #california #santamonicapier #guitar #livemusic

There is a saying in busking, "Your performance is your permit". To setup a keyboard and an amp on a busy street corner was a risk but the performance was so good no one minded. I hope to get to record a full set with him soon! #austin #6thstreet #keyboard #livemusic

I see Jack all over town keeping the vibe going by adding some live music. I first featured him the week before Christmas when I caught him playing by the Zilker Christmas Tree but was downtown this time. He performs along Sam Smith's "Stay with Me". #austin #6thstreet #livemusic #sax

I'd probably heard at least 15 songs up to this point from Ej between a couple nights. There had been zero hint that "Maneater" was even in his repertoire. It was a happy little surprise and his playing complimented the song well. #phoenix #arizona #chasefield #trumpet #livemusic
