I’m sitting in Virginia overlooking a frozen lake catching up on work. Yesterday, I updated my calendar with a bunch of festivals and conventions I currently have booked. It’s nice to see my calendar filling up already. Today, I finally sat down and wrote up my Mission for 2010. The big news is that I […]

Marc Weeklies: Whoops! And Bonne Annee!
Marc is still out of town, and I am a week late in publishing this edition of the “Weeklies!” (Shush – don’t tell him.) I did have a family medical emergency last week – really, I did. But we had a lovely Christmas anyway, and I hope your holiday celebration was just as wonderful. Some […]
Marc Weeklies: In The Dark of Winter – Celebrate the Santa Lucia Festival of Light
I love to sing “Santa Lucia,” which is a traditional Neopolitan song that it turns out was completely ganked by the Swedes to celebrate the end of the longest night of the year. This is a really cool Christmas tradition. My friend Jamie lived in Sweden for a while, as did Michael Garter, artistic director […]

It’s here! It’s here! “The Bridge” has arrived! Every time I release a new CD I get excited. But something about this album is extra special. Maybe it’s the fact that I hand-painted the album cover myself… and love the look of it. Or maybe it has one of the most mature sounds I’ve ever […]

Marc Weeklies: Thoughts of a Happy Celtic Christmas… With A New CD
I’ve had Christmas songs stuck in my head all morning. I know it seems way to early to be thinking about Christmas, but running my own music business I tend to think ahead. That’s why I’m in the planning stages for my Celtic Christmas Podcast (coming soon). I was even practicing my “Celtic Christmas Elf […]
Marc Weeklies: Band Naming Contest and the Vampire Ball
Wow! The Vampire Ball was amazing fun. And it occurred to me that I didn’t tell you enough about it. For instance, did you know I created a band for the ball? Yup. Samantha Gillogly came down from Boston to play fiddle with the group. And one of my best friends, Jamie Haeuser, rocked the […]
