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 […]

Marc Weeklies: Swing the Peppers of Happiness
Greetings und salutations! Ireland, England, and now back home. Yes, I had a great time on the 2nd Celtic Invasion Vacation. Dingle, Ireland is marvelous little town. We had a great time there, hikes around the peninsula, boating to Blaskett Island and seeing seals and dolphins. We enjoyed another perfect weather vacation with cool air […]
Marc’s Weeklies: “Happy Songs of Death” Finally Up on CD Baby!
Salut, mes amis! Since Marc doesn’t speak French, that should clue you in to the fact that this is Jamie…Marc’s in Ireland on the Celtic Invasion of the Dingle Peninsula. He watched a dolphin and ate oysters (or was it the other way around?) and stayed out late in a pub drinking Guinness. What a […]
Marc Weeklies: Dragon*Con 2009 Report!
Jamie here…Ach achon ach am toirsech monuar! That’s Irish for “Alas, I am so tired, alas!” The first “Alas” is because I – like everyone else who was there – am exhausted and the second because I have to wait another year for Dragon*Con… Marc utterly triumphed – his first two shows were terrific, but […]
