Troubadour

A female troubadour is usually called a trobairitz.

The troubadour agreed to perform for them in exchange for dinner and a pair of hares with their skins.

I live uselessly looking for / Someone who understands my love / And I see that it is my destiny to suffer / It is to suffer - not to find / Someone who understands the troubadour.

Sitting in the courtroom ..., their laptops and tablets propped before them, power cables snaking through convoluted adapters, the Twitterati have sight of witnesses at all times – the troubadours, or perhaps the tricoteuses, of the digital revolution.

“"Not a human, not yet a vampire," to paraphrase one of your contemporary musical troubadours.”
