The Front Street Troubadours are a folk music group in San Diego. Our group is currently a quartet with two guitars, one harmonica, and a washtub bass. We all sing. We play a mix of classic folk, blues, country, and original songs. Some of the artists we cover: Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Gordon Lightfoot.
We often perform at County Fairs, Farmers Markets, Festivals, Retirement Centers, and non-profit Community Events. Recent performances include the San Diego County Fair, the Orange County Fair, and the Summer Music Festival at First UU Church. We perform on the Prado in Balboa Park most Fridays from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, and at other events year round.

We can provide a group, The Front Street Troubadours, or a solo performer, The Lost Troubadour. We have been performing on the Prado in Balboa Park most Fridays since January, 2017. We have performed as a group and solo at Men's Renewal Weekends and other community and church sponsored events for many years. Our individual musical backgrounds are diverse. We welcome invitations to perform (group or solo) at private or community events, and will often perform for free, depending on the venue. For a solo performer contact The Lost Troubadour [also on Gig Salad]. For free bookings at community events see our "Front Street Troubadours" Facebook page or message us through Gig Salad.
For an insider perspective and a chronicle of our busking experiences on the Prado in Balboa Park - from the delightful to the mundane - see the blog titled "Front Street Troubadours" [search our name on Wordpress]. The most interesting part of busking for us is interacting with our "fans," the passersby who stop, talk, listen, sing along, and give us tips - and getting to know the other buskers.
