One of the truly magical and most nostalgic of the entertainment offered at the Magic Kingdom, whether east or west, are the Dapper Dan's. This is the turn-of -the-century Barbershop Quartet that find their home on Main Street and always gather a crowd when they perform. They can be found anywhere on Main Street but it looks like in Disneyland, they have a small area set aside for them to perform. I assume, but the sign was a giveaway. This is located down Main Street on the left, right past the Coca Cola store in the Corner Café. Very similar to Casey's Corner of WDW in most respects. A great place to get a drink or some food and take a break. Having the Dapper Dan's show up and begin was a greatly appreciated bonus. During their show they interact with the crowd as they sing a lot of the standard Barbershop songs: 
“Yankee Doodle Dandy”
“Strolling Through the Park”
“Mr. Sandman”
“If You’re Happy and You Know It”
“Zip-a-Dee Doo Dah”
And many more. Along with the great song library, the Dan's would have a variety of talents in addition to the singing. A favorite instrument is the Organ Chime. Think "Mr. Sand Man" as to what those chimes might sound like. Also, I was surprised with another talent that I had not seen up until our trip to Disneyland. They Tap Dance! It was a really fun show!
