We are down to the wire. There's just two more days for you to own my next CD, Heroes. This album is a Patreon-exclusive. The only way you can own a copy is to become a Heroic Gunn Runner on Patreon. Not only that, but you have to sign up before the end of the February.

Become a Heroic Patron right now!

I got an email a couple days ago from Linda. She asked if she could buy the album. I haven’t been able to answer. (So sorry, Linda). But it’s a good question to answer for everyone.

Streaming has upset the music business. That's because sales of CDs and digital downloads have dropped dramatically. It requires musicians and labels to change.

I see that has a big opportunity. But it also means my personal income is dropping just as dramatically. That's why patronage is so important.

Right now, I have 165 people pledging $965 per month. These amazing Gunn Runners allow me to make new music, podcasts, and support my weekly live streaming show, Coffee with The Celtfather.

I cherish every dollar that is pledged. But it's the Heroic Patrons who truly allow me to make a living as a musician. They are my Heroes. And I want to do something special… for them. Because they are so important… to me.

For that reason, I'm sorry to say… no. This CD will not be available to non-patrons.

I know that sucks. And I am truly sorry. But you got to understand how important this is to me.

I dreamed all my life of being a musician. I have a vivid memory from about the age of four years old. I was singing and dancing along with Elvis Presley playing on my mom's record player.

I finally reached my goal in 2005. I quit my job. I was making a decent income from music. The bottom dropped out just after I got married and started a family.

That's when I truly understood the value of patronage.

I need my Heroes. They deserve a super special gift. An exclusive gift.

I hope you understand.

And don't worry. I am already working on the next album. My goal is to Kickstart it at the end of the year with a 2020 album release. I might even release an EP in time for Gen Con and Dragon Con.

But this… is for Heroic Patrons. And I hope you will join them.

In the meantime, I want to share with you the tracks I recorded for this album:

1. She's Shiny
2. The Prettiest Hobbit
3. Name On My Soul
4. Wild Mountain Thyme
5. Serenity Valley Waltz
6. King of the Road
7. Ye Cannot Toss a Dwarf
8. Wherever I May Roam
9. Cambridge in September
10. Hallelujah
11. Fields of Athenry
12. Tough Times
13. The Scotsman
14. Irene Goodnight

I recorded 14 tracks in all for this album. It's packed with a LOT of great songs, including some that were never-before-released.

I am still editing. So it's possible one or two of these might get scratched. But this is what I have so far.

The songs are all recorded acoustic with just me, my autoharp, and a ton of passion. All made with love… for you.

I hope to re-record several of these for future albums. But right now, this is what you will have. And I think… and hope you will love it.

Remember. You have to sign up as a Heroic Patron before the end of February to get the physical CD.

Please sign up right now.

I thank you for your generosity and kindness and continual amazing support for so many years. I am forever grateful.

Slainte!
Marc Gunn, The Celtfather

PS. Don't forget. When you sign up, you'll also get access to a couple dozen live concert bootlegs. It's another fun bonus I am sure you will enjoy. Make sure you download the Patreon app for easy listening.
