The past couple o’weeks were extremely productive. I was in the studio recording “Kilted For Her Pleasure” for most of it. Yesterday, I recorded, what I hope is, the last song for the album. Now it’s time to do some mixing. “Kilted For Her Pleasure” is probably my first entirely comedy album. It features a […]

Celtic Italy
From the Celtic History Newsletter: While we normally think of the Celts in the British Isles, or northern Europe, an archeological site known as Monte Bibele in the province of Bologna, Italy revealed a picture of rural life in Celtic-ruled Italy. Unlike their northern relatives the “Italo-Celtic” people seem to have assimilated into a more […]
Marc Weeklies: Focus, Focus, Focus in 2010
I’m sitting in Virginia overlooking a frozen lake catching up on work. Yesterday, I updated my calendar with a bunch of festivals and conventions I currently have booked. It’s nice to see my calendar filling up already. Today, I finally sat down and wrote up my Mission for 2010. The big news is that I […]
Marc Weeklies: A Brand New Year as Prolific as the Last?
Greetings and Happy New Year! Last year was a big year. I released three new CDs (Heart’s Ease, Live at the Cactus Cafe, and Happy Songs of Death) and finished recording a fourth (The Bridge) which is scheduled to be officially released on January 15th. I also released a compilation through my hit Celtic podcast […]
Marc Weeklies: Whoops! And Bonne Annee!
Marc is still out of town, and I am a week late in publishing this edition of the “Weeklies!” (Shush – don’t tell him.) I did have a family medical emergency last week – really, I did. But we had a lovely Christmas anyway, and I hope your holiday celebration was just as wonderful. Some […]
Marc Weeklies: In The Dark of Winter – Celebrate the Santa Lucia Festival of Light
I love to sing “Santa Lucia,” which is a traditional Neopolitan song that it turns out was completely ganked by the Swedes to celebrate the end of the longest night of the year. This is a really cool Christmas tradition. My friend Jamie lived in Sweden for a while, as did Michael Garter, artistic director […]
Marc Weeklies: Give “The Bridge” for Christmas
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 […]
La’ an Altaithe – Thanksgiving Day in Gaelic!
A generous and heartfelt Thanksgiving to all! I have so many things to give thanks for, I hardly know where to start.Wait. Yes, I do. For you. For fans who care about me and my music. For friends, near and far. For the people I love and who love me. And over this past year, […]
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 […]
