A new Busker on the scene is Austin and his sax playing can be found around the Market this weekend… check him out. He is only 14 and can really get your toe
tapping.

By Ricky Herrin on Jun 01, 2011 at 10:44PM

Reggie Miles is the real deal. That is talent, versatility and sustenance.

By Nnm on Jun 01, 2011 at 10:03PM

Not emery’s best song but he’s the best at the market and the most dedicated been there over ten years sometimes in apartments on the market sometimes in a van down the street. He’s awesome!

By UDubster on Jun 01, 2011 at 9:34PM

I vote for Howlin’ Hobbit

By Jill Goodman on Jun 01, 2011 at 10:55PM

Hobit ! ! !…..I MUST vote for Hobit ! ! !

By jw lumsden on Jun 01, 2011 at 11:20PM

i thought emery was going to have original “music”. It was indeed original but not at all what i would call music.

By j on Jul 05, 2011 at 3:57AM

Not enough of the Pikes Place buskers are represented here but great idea and as Whitney stated you missed out on her big ego so i cast a write in vote to her for never ceasing to amaze other’s of the audacity of her own love of herself and thats without even playing a note. P.S. Remember Pikes Place Buskers Have to PAY to PLAY (license).Have to endure thousands of photo’s and videos usually for zilch. Wait Many Hours to Play one set and may only get one set a day if its busy.So if you see one you like and you video them tip em. Remember the beauty of Busking is everyone is unique and special in their own way. So to Emery, Carly, Yakov, Reggie, JJ&A, Hobbit, Charlie and Charmaine, and of course Whitney thanx for sharing your one of a kind talents .

By jan on Jul 06, 2011 at 12:48PM

Mr. H. Hobbit rocks! my vote 4 him!

By kmk on Jun 09, 2011 at 9:30PM

Carly is clearly the best here. Powerful voice.

By C.C. on Jun 11, 2011 at 8:13AM

Carly definitely! Too bad you didn’t show her original stuff, tho. Blows everyone else out of the water! Find it on youtube…

By Chris on Jun 08, 2011 at 4:00PM

Mad props to Carly…that girl is going places with that voice

By Megan Arnold on Jun 08, 2011 at 4:04PM

Nika was right! Carly has an amazing voice!!!

By pj on Jun 23, 2011 at 4:56PM

Where’s Whitney? Not enough choices for me, many of my faves are missing. But clearly Carly choosing from what there is here.

By MIKE SCHROEDER on May 31, 2011 at 12:08PM

I REALLY LIKED MORRISON BOOMER. I THINK THEY WERE THE BEST BAND!!!

By Mary Witter on Jun 06, 2011 at 10:40AM

Oh, man…what a hard choice—l love each and every one of our Seattle buskers! Hard choice, but I’ll cast my vote for the irrepressible Reggie Miles, who’s in it for the long haul, is an amazing songwriter, musician and instrument maker who uses his knowledge to raise awareness on issues that really matter.

By Andrew on Jun 07, 2011 at 9:56AM

Howlin’ Hobbit – the best!

By Nikki on Jun 07, 2011 at 2:53PM

Carly DEFINITELY, but Morrison Boomer is pretty good too.

By Kirstie Opel on Jun 08, 2011 at 6:07PM

Carlyy for sure!:) That girl has a great voice, I have heard her play plenty of times and she is definitely the best.

By Gwillie on Jun 07, 2011 at 5:41PM

By chris on Jul 06, 2011 at 9:21AM

Another write-in vote for Whitney, whose voice and passion never cease to stop me in my tracks when I see her at the market.

By Paula on Jun 12, 2011 at 3:15PM

Emery Carl – my grandson loves the combination of original music and hula hoop!:)

By Whitney on Jun 24, 2011 at 12:02PM

By Joseph Doney on Jun 08, 2011 at 11:54AM

Knowing ALL of these exceptional people and performers; and viewing every video that was made available for vote, and doing my best to vote ONLY upon the submission as are available for the public to see from this venue; provided most graciously by Seattlemet.com (You betcha), Morrison Boomer did the best of the bunch. Yaacov did the best out of all the solo acts. The rest of you can “Just Beat It”! (lol). AND PLEASE TIP YOUR PIKE PLACE MARKET BUSKERS…10th annual PPM Buskerfest 19 Sept 2011, be there or square dance
