Street Performing Musician

About the role

We are seeking 20–40 solo musicians and small groups (1–3 performers) to perform live across San Francisco on August 6th and 7th.

Responsibilities

• Perform a 1–2 hour live set during one of three daily time slots:
• LUNCH - 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
• AFTERNOON - 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
• HAPPY HOUR - 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
• Perform at one of several high-foot-traffic locations across the city, including FiDi, the Marina, Dolores Park, Alamo Square, Pier 39, and Golden Gate Park (locations will be finalized with each musician before the event but musicians must ultimately secure their desired locations and any associated logistics).
• Wear micro1 event apparel during the performance + feature basic signage explaining microsessions.
• Be filmed and recorded by a small production crew for approximately 20-60 minutes during their set.

Requirements

• Available for a 1–2 hour set within one of our time slots between August 6th–7th (playing on both days is welcome if you're interested).
• Able to perform at a location you're already permitted or approved to play at (whether by city permit or private-property arrangement) — final locations are subject to our approval but we are not able to coordinate permits at this time.
• Responsible for your own instruments/equipment; please build any related costs into your quoted rate.
• Able to share a video, Instagram, or portfolio link showing a past performance.
• Comfortable being filmed and recorded per the terms above.

Qualifications

Musicians are compensated and every performer participates with full consent and a signed release covering the licensing described here.
