Biography
Finding Molly Bish, commonly refered to as FMB, started as a jam project with Jack Dacey, Jake Vaillant, Kevin Lees, and Jeremy Holden. Depending on the time frame, Jake or Jack could be seen on either guitar or bass, and Jeremy and Kevin alternated on drums. In 2008 Ted Rae joined on various hand drums, and Jeremy and Kevin both drummed. In early 2009 FMB played the Folklore Festival and other bar shows at Kilroys and The Apollo. Most notably, FMB and the surrounding social network put on the Bridge Theater in Waverly Park, a one day festival with live music including Finding Molly Bish, Alaska Army Band, Shadowbox, Casanova Frankenstein, and other acts. As well, there was a flea fair including local art and other vendors. Finding Molly Bish played their set with guests Lea Siskar, and Jim Dacey. Since, they have been working on music with Jessica Nunes and Mike Kennedy. FMB is in the middle of planning next year's bridge theater fair, which will be extended to a weekend long festival.
