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 […]
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. […]
What is the point of a business card these days? . Once upon a time, a business card was essential for your business. It was the main way to reach someone after an interaction. . I don’t know about you, but I usually hold on to business cards far too long before I realized there […]

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 […]
Greetings fellow Browncoats! Back in May, I performed at FuMPFest. This is a funny music festival in Chicago. There, I met up with Mikey Mason. Have you heard of him? Maybe not, but you might’ve seen his music video “She Don’t Like Firefly“. It’s HI-larious! (side note: if you like Dungeons & Dragons, and you haven’t […]
Social media is so difficult for me. It’s just not natural. Maybe because socializing isn’t easy for me either. I’m much more comfortable behind a microphone or in a blog. Nevertheless, I’ve gotten better using my Facebook page. At the beginning of the week, I try to make list of news items I want to […]
I am a musician. That means I live off the generosity of others. Yes. I create music for you. But I don’t charge for it, per se. I create. I share it freely. If I am truly blessed, then you are kind enough to send a few dollars my way. This is kind of different […]
I love to travel, even if it’s filled with complications. I look at these as part of what makes a trip special and memorable. This year’s Celtic Invasion of the Isle of Skye in Scotland started with a flight delay…of six hours! Seriously. What causes a six hour delay?! Fortunately, I got the notice six […]
