I love it when fans promote my music. But it’s not for the mercenary reason you’re thinking. It all goes back to a post I made a last month: “I wonder why am so confident playing one set with Kilted Kings but not when I’m playing solo?” Someone nailed it in the comments. It’s easier […]
Firefly and Christmas music…on tour!!! I don’t go on tour often. In fact, I’ve only been on three official “tours” during my 20+ years as a musician. The first two were short tours with the Brobdingnagian Bards. The third was a solo tour up to New York City from New Orleans. I confess I don’t […]
Whenever you post on social media, there is a chance you will encounter trolls. Hopefully, you ignore them and don’t become one. A troll is someone who belittles your opinions, insults you, and treats you with disrespect. Some trolls these days come from Russia. Most are your friends. It’s sad to think a friend would […]

I have a new social media marketing strategy…Less is more. I currently use two social media sites: Instagram and Facebook. I’m a terrible photographer. Instead of posting good pictures on Instagram, I InstaBlog…with a picture. If I’m in the mood, I share pics, videos, or Spotify songs in InstaStories. Facebook is my main social platform. […]

“Soul of a Harper” lyrics Rie Sheridan Rose, music Marc Gunn Performed by Brobdingnagian Bards from Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales by Brobdingnagian Bards Oh, they say ’tis a hanging that soon I will be– My body a-twisting from yonder oak tree– For daring to think that a man could live free… but though […]
I know it’s a stereotype, but some guys have trouble expressing their feelings. I know cuz I sure do. That’s why I wrote “She’s Shiny“. It’s one of the things I love about characters in Firefly. I relate far too well with Malcolm Reynolds’ relationship with Inara. The crew all knows he likes her. We all know he […]
When someone asks me what I do, I typically say, “I play sci fi drinking songs. It’s Irish and Scottish songs inspired by science fiction and fantasy.” But after publishing my Celtfather podcast on “Anthems, Pledges, Change, and Seth Godin“, I realized that my music is actually something more. It’s something I’ve tried to figure […]
