Jim Page is a singer-songwriter and social activist. He was born in Palo Alto, California in 1949[1] and moved to Seattle in 1971. He began playing guitar at age 15[2]. He is known for his political songs and for his activism in support of buskers. He is one of the organizers of Buskerfest in Seattle. He frequently appears with Artis the Spoonman. He tours internationally, yet still finds time to play at Pike Place Market.
In 1974, his protest song convinced the Seattle City Council to drop the requirement that street performers have a permit to perform[3].
