I am finally ready to share the horrors I endured under the evil villain, Captain Black Jack Murphy. For over two months, I was held captive by the notorious air pirate, forced to help him hunt dragons to steal their gold. It was a difficult time of my life. I survived only with the hope that […]
Some bands give away 1-3 MP3s to promote their music. I’ve been doing this long enough to realize that just isn’t enough. If you really want to get to know someone’s music, you need a good album to listen to, freely, and on repeat. Then, you’ll fall in love with it. That’s my philosophy anyway. […]
Sometime last year, I was interviewed by Jamie Lyn Weigt for her blog Writing Dragons. I finally got to reading the interview. I loved it. It hit on a whole bunch of different things I don’t talk about much, including those related to my upcoming album, Dragons vs. Pirates. It’s called “From Swift to Star […]

There’s a lot to do in the upcoming weeks, but for now, I’d like to highlight the work of a friend of mine, […]

Marc’s Musings Greetings my friend, April was a busy month. I had a bunch of shows including one on Concert Window, a return to Johnnie MacCracken’s Pub, five shows at Starfest, a house concert, and school days at Panoply Arts Festival. It was tough keeping up with all the work at home though. I felt […]
One of the bands I enjoy is Mumford & Sons. A while back I posted an article saying that their latest album Babel just sounded like a B-Side to Sign No More. My blog said there was nothing new, and the songs were less memorable. I can’t find the article. I guess I must’ve deleted it when I fell […]
Dragons vs. Pirates tells the story about how Marc Gunn was shanghaied by air pirates and taken aboard the airship, Irish Stout, as a prisoner of Captain Black Jack Murphy, air pirate extraordinaire. Now Marc Gunn is trying to raise money on Kickstarter to bring together a new album of anti-Steampunk music to stop air […]
I finally made some decisions about upcoming albums for the year and what’s next as you’ll see in my latest Kickstarter–Dragons vs. Pirates. This album is a bit of vanity project. It started years ago with an album I recorded with Captain Black Jack Murphy called Pogue Mahone Means Kiss My Arse. It was a fun […]
Lyrics by Ren Shields, music by George “Honey Boy” Evans, Copyright 1904 Performed by Marc Gunn From CD: Sci Fi Drinking Songs Sci Fi Drinking Songs by Marc Gunn I love a sailor; the sailor loves me, And sails ev’ry night to my home. He’s not a sailor that sails o’er the sea, Or over the wild briny […]
Yesterday, I posted a blog about about a guy who said, “I don’t pay for music!”. I got a lot of great responses. I want to clarify a couple things. First, the guy said specifically, “I don’t pay for music” not for “CDs” like I mentioned in the post. If it was CDs, that’d make sense. More […]
