Boston's Quincy Market, Manhattan's Lincoln Center and San Francisco's Cannery all audition or actually hire them for scheduled performances. In Boston, a nonprofit group called Articulture Inc. deploys street musicians at three subway stops during rush hours, which "lowers the collective blood pressure."
