[[File:Lonely Musician.png|thumb|180px|left|A lonely elf plays amongst the Isafdarian landscape.]]'''Musicians''' (also known as '''buskers''' or '''bards''') are [[NPC]]s who can be found all across [[Gielinor]]. When resting within 3 squares of a Musician (or by right-clicking and choosing "listen-to"), the rate at which [[run energy]] and [[life points]] are restored is increased. For example, with 75 [[agility]] it takes only 18 seconds to restore run energy from 0 to 100. Life points are also restored at 3 times the normal rate while resting. If a player has completed the [[One Piercing Note]] quest, and is wearing the full set of [[Citharede robes]], [[Prayer]] points will also be restored.

Different musicians have different instruments, with which they play different music. Those who play the lute play a rendition of [[Harmony]]. Violinists play a rendition of [[Spirit]]. The lyre players in the [[Fremennik Province]] play a rendition of [[Rellekka (music track)|Rellekka]]. Flute players in the Desert play a rendition of [[Arabian]]. The [[Elf Musician]] plays a rendition of [[Forest]]. [[Thump-thump]] plays a rendition of [[The Lost Tribe (music track)|The Lost Tribe]]. The accordion players play a remix of [[Norse Code]]. The [[Drunken musician]] plays a bad version of Harmony and the [[Ghostly piper]] plays a piece of his own, similar to the [[Karamja]]n drummers.

Since [[7 November]] [[2011]] there are two new musicians at [[Abbey of St. Elspeth Citharede]], which cannot be talked to along with [[Valerio]], who is on the other hand the first musician with fully-voice acted dialogues.

The minimap icon for the Musician is [[File:Music.png]]. Look for this on your minimap to find a musician.

==Trivia==
*The musicians say they were told of the medicinal qualities of music by a "traveling medical practitioner, selling oil extracted from snakes". This is a reference to a [[wikipedia:snake oil|snake oil salesman]], a medical con-man.
*The Isafdarian Musician could possibly be a reference to ''[[w:c:zelda:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', as she resembles [[w:c:zelda:Saria|Saria]] and is playing an ocarina. She is also sitting on a tree stump, just like the aforementioned character.
*The Isafdarian musician's ocarina appears to be made of crystal.
*[[Valerio]] is the only Musician who does not mention the effects of resting near a musician.
*The examine text for the musicians in [[Karamja]] (one near the [[Tai Bwo Wannai]] general store, and another next to [[Shilo Village]]) may be an allusion to the ''Stone Roses'' song, called ''She Bangs The Drums''.
*The [[Drunken musician]] near the [[Forgotten Cemetery]] in the Wilderness plays an adaption of Harmony like other lute players, however if you listen carefully, he plays a few wrong chords, and, near the end of the song, speeds up the tempo erratically.
*If you listen to the musician near [[Canifis]] straight behind him, it looks like you're hovering above the ground.
*The musician south of the [[Asgarnia]] [[Monastery]] appears to be wearing a similar costume to the lead minstrel in the film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
*If you are wielding a 2h sword and click 'listen to musician', your player will wield the 2h like a sword as they walk towards the musician.
*If talking to a musician, they will say that their music cannot cure "a lack of faith" (prayer points depleted), among other things, but with the release of the [[One Piercing Note]] quest, it is possible to restore prayer while listening to one.
* There is currently a glitch that if you have any songs in your music playlist, you will not hear their music. This has not been fixed yet.
* If you're wearing the robes from [[One Piercing Note]], you could activate the prayer(s) [[Rapid Restore]] and/or [[Rapid Heal]] to restore your stats, [[Life Points]] AND prayer points while listening to a musician! Handy if you're far from a bank or low on food/potions.
* There is currently a glitch when a player chooses "listen-to", the player will talk with the musician and when the "talk" option is selected the player will rest instead.
* Strangley, The drummer's music will not play while you are resting, And will only play if you are standing near her.
