Pike Place Market Busker Spotlight: Emery Carl

The hula-hooping performer sings of an alien “traveling through the galaxy just to get a sandwich.” Right.

Pike Place Market Busker Spotlight: Squirrel Butter

Their “If I Fall” is a twangy bluegrass original.

The only duo to compete in Battle of the Buskers, Charlie Beck and Charmaine Slaven, don’t just turn out masterfully harmonious, high-pitched Americana, their finger- and footwork is rather impressive too. The evidence is in the video, so do press play.

Pike Place Market Busker Spotlight: Reggie Miles

Sidenote: some amusing crowd shots in this one, like blondie dancing in the corner at 1:03.

The bluesiest of the Battle of the Buskers bunch, Miles is a bit of a departure from the likes of American duo Butter Squirrel or Michael Jackson–covering Carly Calbero. That’s the beauty of Pike Place Market: one turn of the head and you’re immersed in something completely new and different.

As part of this kick-ass guide to Pike Place Market, videographer Joshua Guerci filmed seven resident buskers. Every so often we’ll feature a different one here on Nosh (they’re playing in the mother of all farmers markets, so that makes it food-related, right?) First up: folksy trio Morrison Boomer.
