Floridis lines up benefit concerts

Missoula-based guitarist and singer-songwriter John Floridis along with cellist Jennifer Slayden and percussionist Ed Stalling will perform a series of concerts to benefit the Flathead Youth Home, Samaritan House and FAST Blackfeet nonprofits. 

The trio will perform material from Floridis’ two seasonal releases “December’s Quiet Joy” and “The Peaceful Season” both of which feature his fingerstyle acoustic guitar arrangements of traditional Christmas melodies and original compositions. In addition to original work, the group will perform pieces by artists such as Bruce Cockburn, Patty Larkin, Ben Harper and John Gorka.
