This is my first year performing at StarFest. My friend Lisa was raved about it last year and since it looks like I won't be able to make Opus Fest this year, I figured this would be a great opportunity to make my way back to Denver and see all my friends and fans out there.

Starfest is an annual Denver convention encompassing all aspects of popular media, film and television. Started in 1977, it attracts several thousand fans of popular culture for a weekend of social interaction, games and fun. There are over a hundred activities on the multi-track programming schedule. Events include film studio presentations, onstage Q&A sessions with actors – producers & directors, autograph and photo sessions, costume and talent contests, film festivals, model and art shows, collectible merchandise, educational seminars, discussion panels, kids events, fan club presentations, and assorted Klingons, Jedi and other strange and unusual creatures.

Cats. Irish music. Sci Fi. Drinking songs. Nowhere else but from the bizarre imagination of Marc Gunn would those four elements be so neatly integrated. Yet Gunn, formerly of the award-winning Brobdingnagian Bards and sometimes called “the hardest working man in Celtic music” around his hometown in Austin, is an accomplished Celtic Geek musician and podcaster with quirky sense of humor. He defies the odds by turning his love of music into a fun career. Last year, he released four albums of music to that end, including a follow up to his purrfully popular cat CD, “Whiskers in the Jar: Irish Songs for Cat Lovers” and an album of funny filk music, “What Color Is Your Dragon?”. He is currently in the studio plugging away at a joyful tribute to dying with the CD “Happy Songs of Death”.
