I was chatting with the manager at Ironshield Brewing in Lawrenceville, Georgia about how to promote my monthly shows. I’m not good with social media. He shared what’s successful with them. They tag artists and use hashtags to get that extra bit of visibility for shows. He suggested I do the same. That got me […]

Do you ever make really cool plans, go through all of the steps and then realize your forgot the most OBVIOUS part of the plans? That’s what I felt like at the end of last week when I realized I hadn’t made a YouTube playlist for the Irish & Celtic Music: Best of 2022. Many […]

Leaving of Liverpool (Video)
In 2017, my family traveled back to New Orleans for a crawfish boil with friends. We stopped at a park and then the Audubon Butterfly Garden & Insectarium for my girls to enjoy some butterflies. I recorded video of our trip. The music features “Leaving of Liverpool” is on Marc Gunn & Jamie Haeuser’s album […]

Marc’s Musings: New Single, Kickstarter, and off on a Wheel of Time Adventure
I love spring. The cool, yet warming weather. I love the glorious flowers and budding trees. But boy do I hate the allergies! I had a great time in Texas, but it’s taken all week for my voice to mostly return from the trip. What a great trip. I should share pictures of my shows at […]
A Random Bit of Life WITHOUT an Algorithm
Do you know what I miss? I miss the early days of the internet when an algorithm didn’t tell me what to look at. It’s not because back then I learned SEO and charted really well on Google. It’s because when I went looking for Celtic music on Google, I found some interesting websites. Not […]

I’ve come to the conclusion that my Livestreams are not getting me anywhere. So I’m gonna pull them from the channel. Make them unlisted. Or […]
