You can still find PK Dwyer busking his folk roots and blues at the Seattle Pike Place Market in real time 2018.  Look and listen for Mighty PK during the late morning through the Noon hours.  You'll most often find him belting out his original tunes in front of Starbucks Coffee, Left Bank Books, or the busking spot known as The Bridge. On particularly rainy and windy days PK Dwyer performs in glorious B-Town at the staging area between Trader Joe's and Khan's Mongolian Grill
