On Canada's streets, a former Nelson judge embraces the busker life

Philip Seagram, a former provincial court judge from Nelson, has transitioned to a busking career after retiring early during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Seagram's book, No Judgment, and Other Busking Stories, was released on March 21, detailing his cross-Canada busking experiences.
During his busking trip in the spring of 2022, Seagram treated it as a fundraiser for the Red Cross amid the Russia-Ukraine war while performing in various cities.
Though he has stopped busking after publishing his debut book, he now has a deeper appreciation for street performers and their art.
