A '''[[wp:Busking|busker]]''' is someone who performs in public places for money. Such pedestrians were introduced late in the series, with [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] being the only game to feature them to date.
 
== Description ==
=== Design ===
Buskers debuted in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] in the form of saxophone-playing street musicians commonly spotted in specific parts of [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]], most notably in affluent portions of [[Broker]], [[Dukes]] and [[Algonquin]], as well as various parks, subway stations and waterfronts. Evidently having only a saxophone as a music instrument, the Busker will only play songs that may also be heard on the [[Jazz Nation Radio 108.5]] radio station. In most of his appearances, the busker is depicted with a buttoned up brown trench coat, and his music can easily be heard within hearing distance, a hint he is near the player.
 
The busker is voiced by Walter Houser.
 
=== Behavior ===
When standing close to a busker, the player has the option of giving him [[Money|$]]10, restoring the player's health and receiving an expression of gratitude from the busker, in the form of a simple "thank you". However, should be player push the busker, he may stop playing, drop his music instrument and respond unfavorably to the player. Running pass a busker in close proximity will also force him to drop his saxophone and walk away. Unlike many minor items dropped by pedestrians, the player cannot pick up a busker's dropped saxophone.
