Sam “Busking It Up” on the Streets of Vancouver

Is it even appropriate to use the term “busking it up”? Probably not, but I did. Love it.

In case you’ve been living under a rock lately, Sam has been raising money for War Child, and has blown his original goal of $400 by raising over $2,000. In fact, you can still help out by sponsoring Sam Bradley!

Part of his fundraising also included him and several other artists “Busking for Change” on the streets of Vancouver yesterday. “Busking” is street performing for money, and of course all the money he raised was donated to War Child.

Since LiLi and I are both so lucky to not only live in the states but also probably just about as far from Canada as you can get, we found Mila (aka @canuckleheado7) who DID get to see Sam yesterday, as well as got a ton of pictures and videos.

Despite the cold and dreary Vancouver weather, the artists played host to a handful of small crowds and smiling passersby from 10:00am to 6:00pm. My friends and I caught some of the bands, but we mostly supported Sam Bradley (and his sister Grace Lindsey) throughout the event.

Mila has EVERYTHING on her own blog, laugh.play.dream.live, which you should defiently check out (including another new version of No Diggity, since you all go crazy for that one!). She was so kind enough to allow us to post a couple pictures and a video over here, just to tease you and make you go and see the rest, which you will NOT regret!

I had to post Scared, 1) Cause it’s one of my fave Sam songs and 2) Because I love the appearance by Santa at the end!!

Update! Eyes of Amber has a few more of Sam busking! Be sure to check those out as well!!
