There’s a blog I saw online that said Irish “love” songs were unromantic. That’s a bunch of hogwash by some cynical people who don’t know or appreciate Celtic music. The Celts are some of the most-passionate people in the world. One of the goals of my new compilation CELTIC LOVE is to highlight the beauty […]

St Patrick’s Day Songs for Kids Track Listing
In a continuing effort to swamp you with more music than you can possibly imagine, I am finishing up another album–St. Patrick’s Day Songs for Kids. This album is for kids, but I’m not limiting myself to Irish and Scottish songs. Nope. It has a fun mix of St. Patrick’s Day songs that should be part […]
Celtic Love Coming Soon!
In 2007, I recorded a vanity project called “A Tribute to Love“. I didn’t honestly expect that the album would sell terribly well, and it didn’t. People who know my music love my comedy or my traditional Celtic songs, but love songs…? And this was more than just an album of sappy love songs. It […]
Schatten Autoharp Pickup Review Coming
I first started amplifying my autoharp in 1999. The autoharp pickup that was installed was the standard Oscar Schmidt. It had limitations. Mostly notably, it was setup with a 1/8″ input. How annoying is that when the entire music world runs on 1/4″ pickups. It was converted to a 1/4″ after a couple years of use […]

I just got a last minute concert announcement.

This is a new convention for me. I’ve been trying to make it happen for a while […]

Marc Gunn Returns to Maggie McGuinness Pub on January 24th
One of my most-favorite venues ever is the Maggie McGuinness Pub in Huntsville, Alabama. The Bolliners turned their basement into an “Irish pub” and host events for the Irish Society of North Alabama. It’s a small venue with limited space and packed full of people who love Celtic music, geek songs, and great craic. Tickets are […]
Featured on Threats from Gallifrey
I haven’t listened yet, but I wanted to share. My song “Doctor of Gallifrey” was featured in the podcast “Threats from Gallifrey” last month. It’s a two-parter. So don’t miss the second one also.
