Live, Raw, and Free: Another FOM Rehearsal at NLUC
We do this once in a while, set up at NLUC and play free for anyone that wants to come! We call it a “live rehearsal” so, there may be boo-boo’s (things only musicians notice anyway!), stops, re-starts and more chit chat with the audience and banter between band members than a normal show. It’s…
Message in a Bottle: Rehearsing New Tunes and “Rose Tattoo”
From snowstorms to avalanches to the dark of night, Fire on McGinnis historically has not been lucky with shows and weather. Pier 49 was an exception. Nice, sunny warm evening with light winds at Juneau’s newest semi outdoor eatery, Pier 49. We had a great time playing to a large and enthusiastic crowd. Our thanks…
An Update on the Hangar Ballroom Fundraiser

Bagpipe Alert! The City of Juneau Pipe Band Joins FOM
We had a lot of offers to play again this year ( and in fact, the offers are still coming in! ) but really the best one for us is to play McGivney’s Sports Bar & Grill at their valley location. We like it there and they treat us good. We start at around 9…
