For the past 10 years or so, music industry professionals (not connected to the major labels) have predicted a major change in the distribution of music. iTunes kicked off that change by offering easy to download music. But it was subscription-based music that really sent shockwaves through the industry. Spotify changed everything. This is great […]
When my first daughter was born, I had a flood of comments from Gunn Runners asking me when I would release a kids CD. It was bound to happen. I theme most of my albums from Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers to Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion, Don’t Go Drinking With Hobbits to […]

Being home with the kids has been limiting the number of tasks that I am able to get done, but there is still a lot going on! This week marks the 10-year Anniversary of me leaving my day-job to pursue podcasting and Celtic music full time – I don’t regret a minute of it! And […]
We saw our first dragon on day 18–a red dragon. It was terrifying, but boy did it do some damage. I’m surprised I survived to tell the tale. If you’re not yet subscribed to the Dragons vs. Pirates podcast, subscribe on iTunes and post a review. Then go make a pledge to sponsor the album […]

St. Patrick’s Day Songs for Kids is now officially on sale all around the ‘net. You can buy it via CD Baby in my Celtic Music CD Store, or on iTunes and Amazon. The physical album looks great, and it’s a lot of fun. So far, I have 10 reviews on Amazon from some fans who […]
There’s a reason why I’ve spent so much time recording albums that are called “drinking songs“. It’ll started in 1999 when I was buying a book at Half-Price Books on South Lamar in Austin. I saw a green cassette labeled “Irish Drinking Songs“. It cost two bucks. On a whim, I bought it. About this […]
I finally made some decisions about upcoming albums for the year and what’s next as you’ll see in my latest Kickstarter–Dragons vs. Pirates. This album is a bit of vanity project. It started years ago with an album I recorded with Captain Black Jack Murphy called Pogue Mahone Means Kiss My Arse. It was a fun […]
Yesterday, I posted a blog about about a guy who said, “I don’t pay for music!”. I got a lot of great responses. I want to clarify a couple things. First, the guy said specifically, “I don’t pay for music” not for “CDs” like I mentioned in the post. If it was CDs, that’d make sense. More […]
I first saw them last Christmas. DVD + Digital? “What on earth is that?” I thought. Low and behold it was the greatest invention since sliced bread. I love buying DVDs. It’s my guilty pleasure. But I watch almost everything on my iPad or my computer. So I kind of don’t want DVDs that much any more… UNLESS […]
St Patrick’s Day is just a couple weeks away. That’s when I start thinking about promoting Celtic music with free Celtic MP3s. I’ve been doing that for about fourteen years now. I think it’s safe to say I created a Celtic music empire online. I didn’t start calling myself The Celtfather. That title was given to […]
