At the Farmers Market: Aric Leavitt

This bluegrass street performer has been playing for more than 45 years.

When Aric Leavitt first heard a bluegrass band play at his high school, he was immediately drawn to the upbeat sounds it cast. At 14 years old he picked up a banjo and has been playing ever since. His main source of income is the money he makes from performing on the street. Although he admits that it's not a glamorous lifestyle, the people he meets make it worth it.
