John Floridis will bring his musical talents to Neptune’s Brewery in Livingston on Monday, May 9th at 5:30pm.
This show is free and open to the public. Floridis is a Missoula-based guitarist, singer-songwriter, and composer. He has been a resident in the “Big Sky” since 1993, having moved here from the strong shouldered, down-but-never-out city of Cleveland, Ohio. He has released five recordings mixing bluesy, folk-rock vocal tunes with adventurous solo acoustic guitar compositions including one seasonal recording “December’s Quiet Joy.” Floridis has been named Missoula’s best musician by the Missoula Independent and performed in the Western region for over a decade. He has performed with artists as diverse as Shawn Colvin, Derek Trucks, Patty Griffin, Richard Thompson, Emmylou Harris, Bruce Cockburn, Kelly Joe Phelps, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Patty Larkin. John also fronts Burning River, a blues-funk-rock concept that performs in the Western region. He is also a producer of programs for Montana Public Radio and a former Registered Music Therapist. Floridis performs with guitar, vocals, and sometimes manipulated, sampled and looped sounds. Learn more at johnfloridis.com/. •
