I chose the autoharp because it made songwriting easier. Once again, I get to share my songs with the California Autoharp Gathering. It was 1997. My last rock band broke up. I had a guitarist who was writing MUCH better songs than I was. It was time for a change. I borrowed an autoharp from […]
No Ren Faire gets it right. At least none that I’ve been to. . I’ve performed at maybe a couple dozen Renaissance festivals over the years. I have yet to find one that had a decent music stage. I’m not sure why. But the Mid-South Renaissance Faire did. . I’m still trying to wrap my […]

Marketing is easy for me. Selling is not. I don’t like to sell. Yes, I have full faith in the quality of my music. I even “market” most of 23 albums with a theme. That makes them easier to sell. Like Firefly? Get these CDs and songbook. Drinking songs? Do you want Irish or Sci […]
I never imagined I’d have troll friends. But I guess it’s better than having friends troll me. I’m so impressed with these two. They have a YouTube show, coloring books, partnerships with local swamps (seriously) and are writing their own books as well. Look ‘em up. Smart trolls!
Sears is filing for bankruptcy and I don’t care. In fact, I’m a little angry. It reminds me of Toys R Us. These are companies, corporations, that grew so big they refused to innovate. They refuse to change with the times. I’m nostalgic for the past like everyone, but I am also a realist. Times […]
What a great weekend! Kilted Kings we’re booked at Mid-South Renaissance Faire, but with a twist. We played as a three-piece instead of two. I love my band because it gives me a place to explore traditional Celtic music more. All year long, I play mostly Sci Fi Drinking Songs. Those are my most-popular songs. […]
“Slainte mhaith”. That means “here’s to your good health”. “Slainte” means “cheers” or “here’s to your health”. “Mhaith” is good. Greetings my name is Marc Gunn. I play Celtic Geek music. I’m originally from Texas, though now residing in Birmingham, Alabama. Despite that introduction, I don’t speak Gaelic. But I love Celtic culture and music. […]
