Some sad news on the local music front today - Fort St. John's beloved Egan's Pub is closing its doors on February 16, 2010. All events scheduled to be held between now and then are cancelled.
Opening 5 years ago, the pub has witnessed the growth of an almost unbelievable music community. Thanks to hardworking & music loving folks like Jason George, Ryan Hennessey, and Russell Eggleston our local music community went from practically nonexistent to buzzing and vibrant. Although the music community has deep roots in Egan's Pub, a community is more about the people who gather together than the place they gather at, so we're confident that we can and will continue to thrive even with this closure.
With that said, this is a time when we really need the community's help. We're going to need new homes for all sorts or events, and we're open to ideas and suggestions of any sort. This is a great opportunity for our community to expand and for other venues to support local music.
Post any questions, comments, ideas, and suggestions below or send Russell an e-mail:
