I will be in Wales next weeks, so I thought I should do a wee bit o’promotion for some of my upcoming shows that will happen when I get back in town, including a house concert hosted by the Irish Society of North Alabama. I’ll be in their Maggie McGuinness Pub. You can now reserve […]

New This Week: North Alabama Celtic Calendar, Kickstarter Stretch Goals, Website Fixes
There are just six days left until I fly off to Wales and join seven other people on my annual Celtic Invasion Vacation. I am SO psyched. And so fortunate to have people willing to join me every year on another invasion. I’m already planning next year’s invasion, which should be a wee bit easier because […]
CG015: Sci Fi Drinking Songs. Astonishing!
“I never heard about this album”. That’s the comment I got from someone on Facebook this week. So I thought I should dedicate today’s podcast to talking about the Kickstarter for my next album Sci Fi Drinking Songs. Come to think of it, I should do an entire show talking about all the songs… I’ll aim for […]
Grateful for Adventure (and Adventurers)
In 1989, I moved to Italy to live with my mom for my senior year of high school. We traveled a lot. In fact, while the rest of my senior class went to Rimini to get drunk over Spring Break, my mom and I went on a pilgrimage following the artwork of Piero della Francesca. […]
“Are you an indie musician?”
It’s a work day in Gunn Studios. The life of an indie musician, seems work is never done. It’s a wonderful challenge. It’s also great seeing up and coming musicians. At The Summit Farmers Market yesterday, this maybe 13-year old girl approached me. “Are you an indie musician?”, she asked? I set my autoharp down. She […]
Celtic Invasions, Videos, Celtic Hoodies, Bracelets, and an Anniversary to Remember
I didn’t get a chance to blog at all while I was on my Celtic Invasion of the Highlands of Scotland this year. So I’m way behind in sharing my news. So I will try an catch up today. First off, while I wasn’t blogging, I was vlogging. Yup. I posted a bunch of videos from my […]
Where Do You Want to Join Me?
In one week, I fly back to Scotland for my Celtic Invasion Vacation. I’m getting more and more excited every day. It’s one of the reasons I started thinking about next year. I threw out some suggestions a few weeks ago. But it occurred to me that I haven’t asked you. Where do you want to […]
Poll: Where Should Next Year’s Celtic Invasion Go?
I briefly mentioned this in the Scottish Songs show of the latest Pub Songs Podcast. I’m trying to decide where to go for next year’s Celtic Invasion Vacations. Are you able to go next year? If so, where would you like to go? Option 1 – Venice I typically swap back and forth from Ireland […]
Pub Songs #113: Irish Celtic Songs
A month and half after the first show of the year, I am back with some more Irish Celtic Songs plus LOTS of news from The Celtfather. I had a busy a month, which included a flight to Texas for some shows at the award-winning Sherwood Forest Faire. But that’s just the start of a ton […]

Happy Mardi Gras!–and all that (Celtic) jazz…
Today, in select locations, revelry prevails. In New Orleans, my home town, there is eating, drinking, and merriment (more than usual), beads, occasional nudity, temporary insanity, and a general festive mood. Meanwhile, in other parts of the country (like Texas, where I am now), it is just another day. But we can still be a […]
