WinterChild , Busking in Charlotte NC USA is not a problem at all. You don't even need a license unless you have an amplifier. The down side is .. you DO NEED and amplifier to be heard over the noise and there are not a lot of places to play .. AND i don't think the people are very generous. Your looked down on as a bum .. ALSO: the laws state that you must play on public property and not impede the movement of traffic or pedestrians. You apply for license with the transportation office. ** which i thought was kind of odd .. ** I've yet to contact them about cost involved in amplified license. Also there are restrictions based on the total WATTS of power and volume of the music in decibels . The city is noisy with many construction sites .. i can't imagine what they would consider to be too loud .. and again ... if your awesome .. nobody will really care as long as you have a permit.
