Do you need a street performance license in California to play music on the street?

Question by allrockernotemo: Do you need a street performance license in California to play music on the street?
I wanted to play some music this summer with a few friends and try to make a few bucks on the streets around the Redondo beach area. Will I need a special license and if so how do I go about getting one?

Answer by General D. Ypsilanti
save yourself a lot of grief by calling the city and asking for information
on that subject. Maybe they look the other way or don’t care.
Maybe they have licenses which will ultimately protect you.
One or two phone calls should get you the info.
