The modern music business is even more beholden to the fan. It's sort of like return to the 1700s when rich patrons took care of the food housing for folks like Mozart, Bach and even Turlough O'Carolan, the great Irish harper.

The modern musician doesn't necessarily seek out rich patrons. He relies on the generosity and support from individuals. CD sales are one way to support artists. Another way is through subscription services. The Gunn Runners Club is a subscription service designed for you to support my music while getting you some cool perks.

What kind of perks you ask?

You'll get stickers, special downloads, and even live music recordings. VIP members will also get some physical swag as well, like a shirt, key chain, tote, and new limited-edition swag each year. Plus, you'll get great discounts on all my CDs.

You can find the all the details on the new Gunn Runners website at marcgunn.net.

If you want an extra cool way to join the club, support my new album, Celtic Music Is Freedom.
