Arts Beat: Main Street’s street performance program is back
Visitors to Memphis’ Main Street Mall can expect to see performances from singers, musicians, jugglers, magicians, dancers and other street performers.
On Wednesday, June 25, the Downtown Memphis Commission re-launched its busking program called Main Street Sounds.
Damion Kereem Pearson, aka Yella P, performed on Wednesday in Court Square Park. Pearson is a multi-instrumentalist, including the harmonica and guitar.
“I am excited about the DMC busking program because I am primarily a busker,” he said. “And that’s how I like to express my art, through playing on the street.”
Pearson has previously busked on behalf of the DMC.
