Support Bozeman’s Warming Center with these Dec. concerts
Two upcoming events will directly benefit the Bozeman Warming Center, the area’s only seasonal shelter for men, women, and families in need.
Missoula guitarist and singer/songwriter John Floridis is first up with a benefit concert on Sunday, December 10th at the Bozeman United Methodist Church, 121 S Willson Ave., beginning at 7pm. Donations encouraged.
Known for his bluesy, folk-rock vocals and adventurous solo acoustic guitar compositions, Floridis has shared the stage with the likes of Shawn Colvin, Patty Griffin, Emmylou Harris, and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, among others. He has released numerous recordings, including the popular winter-themed December’s Quiet Joy and The Peaceful Season.
An additional Warming Center benefit show follows on Saturday, December 23rd featuring genre defying Heterophobe, Weissenborn lap slide guitar-clad Dan Dubuque, and folk punk band Canabalistic Vivisections at The Filling Station beginning at 9pm. There is a $10 suggested donation for this 21+ event. Doors at 8pm.
