Busker:A person who entertains in public for money

About Me

Shepherd Express's Brian Barney explains The Buskers as..."Milwaukee’s The Buskers are a power pop trio with members from Fat Sandwich, eVibe and the Orin Project. They are arguably one of the best new bands in the area. Their songs establish a stranglehold on the ears, keying in on hooks and melody lines that stick in the head. Although the blues influence is heavy at times, they can also segue into a power-pop mode and produce catchy, radio-friendly tunes. One of their strongest cuts is “Honey Bee Rose,” which features an ear-pleasing yet gritty performance from lead vocalist Ricky Ganiere, who croons around a gorgeous chord progression that circles an infectious riff. Your chance to check out the Buskers comes the second Thursday of every month at Linneman’s Riverwest Inn, when they put on a free show." Come out to one of our shows and see what all the hubbub is about.
