I have long thought about starting a Celtic festival. Andrew McKee and I talked about it quite a few times when we started the Brobdingnagian Bards. It’s a great way to get a gig and help your fellow musicians. If you do it right. That was one of the sticking points–doing it right. It’s a lot […]

Less than 24 hours to go…
Tomorrow is the official re-release day of the Kilted Kings CD. Originally, it was called Name On My Soul after my most-requested song on the album.

Going Back to Sci Fi Conventions as a Musician
My first post-pandemic sci fi convention happened this week. It was at Magic City Con in Birmingham, Alabama. I was a bit worried. Both because of safety concerns but also because of sales concerns. I will share what I learned last weekend. I SAID IT MANY TIMES… The music industry is changing. More and more […]
