The Portland Cello Project returns to Musician's Spotlight, and this time they are joined by frequent collaborator singer Saeeda Wright. Doug Jenkins of the PCP also joins in on the conversation.

The project's most recent recording "Under The Mistletoe", a seasonal recording, showcases their unique arrangements of standard songs that listeners have heard for decades.

Also on this program, Saeeda discussing her work with Prince and the New Generation, Doug reviews the progress the project continues in their quest to perform unexpected music in unexpected venues and Saeeda also share a very personal story of her life journey's discovery.

John Floridis, the host and producer of Musician's Spotlight, has been with Montana Public Radio since 1997. He has interviewed over 200 musicians during that time. He is also an independent recording and performing artist in his own right and a former registered music therapist.
