Musicians' Spotlight for July 17, 2012
1:30 PM - 1:58 PM
Today's Highlight: John Floridis hosts Nels Cline
After reaching the age of 50, guitarist/composer Nels Cline was on the verge of getting a "day job." Though critically acclaimed as a leading purveyor of avant garde jazz and rock blending style, the realities of the struggles to be able to support himself full time as a musician seemed daunting. That's when he got a call from the Grammy award winning rock band Wilco, and for the last 6 years he has flourished with that group, and in between tours with the band he has continued to develop his own music and grow even more as a musician.

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.
