Florian put on a great show covering many folk songs from throughout the years. It was an upbeat, musical journey of Americas greatest songs of the 60's including songs he performed as a lead singer of the famous New Christy Minstrels plus the music of Peter Paul & Mary, John Denver, Pete Seeger, The Mamas & The Papas, and uplifting originals presented with amusing stories in an intimate show.

William weaves stories, songs, and humor as we honor the life and achievements of John Denver. He performed Denver's most celebrated songs such as Take Me Home Country Roads, Sunshine On My Shoulders, Annie's Song, Leavin On A Jet Plane, and many many more.

At the end of his concert, Florian had many members of the audience come up and join him on stage for a song. It was fun.

William's mission is to travel the globe spreading goodwill and messages of peace through his music from the United States to all people of this planet!

Thanks For The Music William!
