Musicians' Spotlight for December 02, 2008
3:30 PM - 4:00 PM
Today's Highlight: "John Floridis hosts Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas"
Scottish fiddler extrordinaire and American cello sensation Natalie Haas pursue their resurrection and reinvention of the classic musical marriage between big and small fiddles, a familiar feature of Scottish music in the 18th century. The duo’s near-telepathic interplay is dazzling both for its breathtaking technical prowess and its boundless dynamism, be it in tunes from that same golden era, the age of Burns and Gow, or Fraser’s own memorable compositions. Selections from their two collaborative recordings will be featured.

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.
