FC & the Deadstring Ensemble
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our bandmate and friend JOHN McGANN who passed away in April 2012. John was an incredible virtuoso on guitar and mandolin and one of the funniest people we've ever met. This band brought out the best in him and he often commented on the quality of "the hang". Please leave your thoughts and memories about John on his facebook page and consider making a donation to help out his family: checks made out to The John McGann Memorial Fund may be sent to
