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 […]

Marc Weeklies: Give “The Bridge” for Christmas
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 […]

Marc Weeklies: Review Happy Songs of Death on iTunes
I just got back from MileHiCon in Denver, Colorado where I was the Musical Guest of Honor. How cool is that! Everyone up there was so warm and welcoming despite the wee bit o’snow that fluttered down to my heart’s delight. The shows went well and the other guests were a total delight. MileHiCon is […]
Marc Weeklies: Bridging the Gap With Monet
I’d like to start by thanking everyone who sent me photos of bridges over the last few days. I felt stumped as to what sort of album cover I wanted for my next cd, entitled “The Bridge”. Your pics helped me decide. I had a loose image in my mind of a foot bridge over […]
