William Florian
Thursday, October 13, 2022

William Florian is a gifted musician who mesmerizes his audience with the music of the 60s. His career was almost a non-starter when his seventh-grade math teacher wanted to take William’s guitar away until his grades improved. Fortunately, his mother did not agree … and the rest is history. Those Were the Days is an upbeat, musical journey of America’s greatest songs of the 60’s including songs William performed as a lead singer of the famous New Christy Minstrels in addition to the music of Peter, Paul & Mary, John Denver, Pete Seeger, The Mamas & The Papas and others. All are presented with amusing stories in an intimate show that you won’t want to miss!

Long Time Gone
Thursday, April 13, 2023

More than a tribute band, Long Time Gone is a retrospective celebration of the music of the incredible David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young. From the early days of Buffalo Springfield, The Hollies and The Byrds, to their days as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, the group created music with the precision and subtleties of vocal harmonies, signature guitar work and the drive of a rock and roll band. Long Time Gone provides an experience that expresses the passion and tenderness of the songs that are the sound and feel of an era in American music we may never know again. Long Time Gone will truly satisfy any fan of CSNY and that signature sound.
