Celtic Christmas Videos

Yesterday, I setup a page to highlight my Celtic Christmas Video playlists on YouTube. You can now listen to all the songs from my Celtic Christmas compilation CD from last year. You’ll also find episodes of my Celtic Christmas Podcast. And coming soon… I will share my next album Celtic Christmas Greetings along with the greeting cards. Do […]

CG069: Christmas in the Shire from Celtic Christmas Greetings

My friend Nancy Flynn emailed me some Christmas lyrics a couple years ago. We both love JRR Tolkien, The Hobbit, and Lord of the Rings. The lyrics were inspired by A Long Expected Party, a hobbit gathering that happens every few years in Central Kentucky. It’s a magical place and the lyrics do it justice. After returning […]

CG068: Frosty the Irish Snowman from Celtic Christmas Greeting Cards

I’m pleased to share another rough mix of from my Celtic Christmas Greeting Cards. This is a slight modification of “Frosty the Snowman”. There are no substantial changes to the song we all love. But since it doesn’t snow too often in Ireland, I had to take a few creativity licenses. Thanks to Samantha Gillogly […]

CG067: Birthday Wishes, Celtic Halloween, 8 Days Left Celtic Xmas Kickstarter

It was an absolute crazy week with a stomach bug, a tooth pulled, Kenzie’s birthday party, and a family visit. I’m exhausted. There’s no rest for the weary because Celtic Halloween approaches. Then I’m off to the Louisiana Renaissance Festival for 6 weekends. I still have a Celtic Christmas Kickstarter to promote with just 8 […]

Celtic Christmas Marketing

I’m doing a whole bunch of Celtic Christmas marketing research. It makes me remember why I’ve been so successful in the music business–the digital realm is virtually untouched. While most Celtic musicians promote themselves online, few have done nearly as much as I have. I told my Patrons the other day that I was looking […]

CG065: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Listen to Celtic Christmas Greetings

This is perhaps my favorite Christmas song ever written. Obviously, it’s not a Celtic Christmas song. So to give it that Celtic edge, I had Samantha Gillogly add some brilliant fiddling. The result is sheer perfection. You can get this and other Celtic Christmas music as part of my Celtic Christmas Greeting Cards that are […]

CG064: Celtic Christmas Elf. Listen to Celtic Christmas Greeting Cards

This is still one of my favorite Celtic Christmas songs that I’ve written. It captures a little bit of the American Christmas mythos while merging it with the satire and leprechauns of Ireland and the old English recruitment tactic of the 19th century. You can get this and other Celtic Christmas music as part of […]

CG063: Christmas in Killarney, Listen to Celtic Christmas Greeting Cards Music

One of my favorite Celtic Christmas songs was made famous by Bing Crosby. It’s a delightful song with a toe-tapping melody. I had Samantha Gillogly give it an even more Irish sound with some fantastic fiddling. You can get this and other Celtic Christmas music as part of my Celtic Christmas Greeting Cards that are […]
