Dub FX has several self produced albums and is very popular in Europe and draws huge crowds. He performs almost exclusively as a busker. He is also the subject of a documentary film. He sells a lot of CDs via the internet and at street shows. It's amazing to watch Dub FX work his magic by overdubbing his own vocals using foot pedals as he performs:




There are several busker festivals held across the globe each year including the following:

Ferrara Buskers Festival -|- Ferrara, Italy
Halifax International Busker Festival -|- Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Lawrence Busker Festival -|- Lawrence, Kansas, USA
San Diego Busker Festival -|- San Diego, California, USA
Toronto BuskerFest -|- Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Victoria Buskers Festival -|- Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Waterloo Busker Carnival -|- Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
World Buskers Festival -|- Christchurch, New Zealand


The most notable of all buskers was Woody Guthrie who frequently sang on street corners when he traveled the nation.
