Musicians' Spotlight for July 23, 2008
11:30 PM - 12:00 PM
Today's Highlight: John Floridis hosts Jessica Kilroy
Songwriter and singer Jessica Kilroy grew up in Eureka, Montana, working hard at everything she's ever set her mind to. She has fought forest fires across the nation, aided abandoned/orphaned children in Mexico, climbed the big walls of Zion and Yosemite, trekked across South East Asia to scale beautiful limestone cliffs, and learned the legends and stories of her ancestors while playing Celtic folk with local fishermen on the Irish shoreline.
Kilroy has a style all her own, incorporating Folk, Bluegrass and Americana into a masterful, musical medley that attracts people of many different musical tastes. Her most recent album, "Big Dreams" was produced by Ben Winship of Growling Old Men.

Shawn Colvin, Patty Larkin, and Leo Kottke have all stopped by the Montana Public Radio studios to play a little and talk with Brian Kopper and John Floridis. Performers talk about the inspiration behind their music and what it's like to both create and perform the music.
Montana artists like Zoe Wood and Wilson & McKee get equal time. Each week, hosts Brian Kopper and John Floridis, composers and performers themselves, give listeners a glimpse into the lives and art of the modern day troubadour.
