THE BUSK is a music platform. It showcases music videos and profiles fresh, new talent. If you want to listen to sound played from the streets, you've come to the right place.
You also can find your music favourites here, too.
THE BUSK recently held a charity session in Brighton to raise relief money for those affected by Hurricane Sandy across Haiti, Jamaica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and the East Coast. Presenting four different performances, the event was joined by Son Belly, The Orange Circus Band, Rubylux, and Jamie Jolley. All money raised was donated by the musicians to The British Red Cross and to the Ted and Honey Cafe.

About You: I'm a polar bear pirate painter. My travels around have been my inspirations, and the staying stills my meditations. I put my heart in to my music and I hope it finds you well.
I used to sell my paintings in the street and busk. In Canterbury and in New York, too. I think busking's great; it hardens your musical nerves and you can't help but get an adventure.
The Future: To keep on keeping on, said Dylan. We're looking to tour this year.
