haven&#8217;t seen Steve Canty in at least a year and I haven&#8217;t hung out with Jon McCormack since college. \u00a0Both are amazing musicians and have been playing around the Seacoast for years. \u00a0Jon McCormack was in a band called <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HQ3DMYsauXY\">Fly Spinach Fly<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>when we were in college. \u00a0Click on the link and you can see them win the 1995 Seacoast Music Award for Best Alternative Artist! \u00a0Jon&#8217;s most recent work has been with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OrderOfThieves\/\">Order of Thieves<\/a><\/em>; Camarojuana; Shango; and he&#8217;s currently working on a solo &#8220;Jon McCormack&#8221; album. \u00a0Jon was also in the documentary <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sMzI-UkwNU4\">In Danger of Being Discovered<\/a>, <\/em>which is about the music scene on the Seacoast in the 90&#8217;s. \u00a0He is also a collector of
