In AC2, the street performers are used as obstacles on stealth missions. They try to obstruct your path and refuse to get out of the way until you dispense some coin, knock the instrument out of their hands (my preferred option), or shank them.

Something along the lines of having a wandering minstrel wander over to the character when he's trying to be sneaky and performing loudly and conspicuously would be hugely inconvenient and entirely faithful to the source material... and it would be a moderately low-key supernatural curse.
