One Album Title Picked
A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I had enough music for two albums: one of Celtic geek comedy, and one of more ballady songs. I also said I didn’t have a name for either album. That changed this weekend. On my drive to New Orleans, I named the second of those two albums. The […]
Love it or hate it? Mediocrity and The Carpenter
It’s funny how different albums affect you. Last year, I bought The Avett Brothers’ newest album, The Carpenter, because I loved their debut album. This one is a solid 3 stars on my rating scale. I’ve barely listened to the album since i bought it. Partially because it lacks the folky quality of their first […]
Introducing TWO All-New Pub Songs Podcasts Complete with Celtic Music Biographies
The Pub Songs Podcast is once again evolving… I think. We shall know for sure in a few weeks. What’s new? For one, it’s turning into a live show that you can watch via Google Hangouts or on YouTube. And I mean totally live. Watch me screw up, or kick butt, the whole nine yards. Second, […]
“Are you an indie musician?”
It’s a work day in Gunn Studios. The life of an indie musician, seems work is never done. It’s a wonderful challenge. It’s also great seeing up and coming musicians. At The Summit Farmers Market yesterday, this maybe 13-year old girl approached me. “Are you an indie musician?”, she asked? I set my autoharp down. She […]

Irish Immigration and Marc Gunn CDs On Sale
People often ask, “Where is the best place for me to buy your CDs where you earn the biggest profit?” If you’re not getting them at gigs, then my usual answer is CD Baby. They take a small fee and take good care of musicians. However, every now and then, I tell them to go […]
