Marc's Musings

Greetings Amici and Happy 4th of July!

The summer is in full swing, and I just got back from my first solo summer tour that included two weeks up and back from Chicago. It was a tremendous success, and I want to thank everyone who joined me on the road and made it so. Now I'm back with my cats Tiziano and Torre who are happily shedding all over me. I need to remember to bring some cat hair for the next tour to remind me of home.

After the 4th, I will start gearing up for the next tour which begins in mid-July, up to Maryland and New York. I have several shows scheduled and more coming. And I also hope to setup a couple of meet-n-greets. If you're interested in either, check out my calendar (more details next week) and make sure you email booking at marcgunn.com to tell Jamie you'd like to be a part of either/or, and we'll see what we can do.

LAST CHANCE TO PRE-ORDER ‘HAPPY SONGS OF DEATH'

The biggest news right now is that Happy Songs of Death is finished! I sent it off to the printers a couple days ago. The official release is Thursday, August 20, 2009. That is a month later than planned, but since I'll be on the road, it's the best I could do.

HOWEVER! You can pre-order a copy until tomorrow July 4, 2009 with either or both of the cool CD covers offered by Ingrid Houwers and Nikki O'Shea.
If not, you will have to wait until the end of August to get your copy.

AND as a special bonus, my agent Jamie loves this album so much that she has offered to email her Super Secret Recipe for Green Chile Stew to everyone who pre-orders the album. (I still need to find out if that includes me. Because *I* don't have this recipe and yet, it is one of my absolute favorite foods ever! mmm… Drooling just thinking about it.) Oh! And I will also autograph every pre-ordered CD.

So go pre-order the Happy Songs of Death now!

When will you get your copy? The CDs will go out as soon as I have 'em. That means it will be at the beginning of August when I get home from the tour… unless… I can find a way to get them to you sooner… I will do what I can. I know you're as excited about this CD as I am. So I'll try sending them ASAP.

Thanks as always for you continued interest in my music. Slainte!
