Fire on McGinnis

About Me

Fire on McGinnis plays a mix of traditional Celtic and contemporary music ramped up a notch so it's high energy with a grooving beat. Fire on McGinnis is a product of Juneau, Alaska using only the finest ingredients on the planet whipped up to a frothy, smooth blend with a kick that will keep your taste buds jumping.

We've been called 'Bagpipe Rock' by the newspapers, or 'Celtic Rock' by others. Whatever it is we like doing it and are glad people like to listen to us. So thank YOU for your support and for checking us out.

We are working on recording more stuff for a CD and have been busy in the studio hashing it out. We are always up for playing gigs anywhere in the world so if you are interested or know of a place that wants some 'Bagpipe Rock' let us know. We might fit the bill.
