As I pack up CDs to mail from my recent Kickstarter for Sci Fi Drinking Songs, I thought I’d record a podcast. Today, we talk about how to filter your email. I share the challenges of promoting with social media. And I remember the ah-ha moments that changed my musical career forever. Today’s show is […]

CG029: Quidditch World Cup
The Kickstarter for Sci Fi Drinking Songs came to astoundingly awesome ending yesterday. I raised over $6000 for the CD which is far more than I hoped. However, it’s actually more like what I need. I have a lot of bills that I incurred this year with server problems. I’m still paying those off. So it looks […]
Sci Fi Drinking Songs June Update
With just 44 hours left until my Kickstarter ends for Sci Fi Drinking Songs, I thought I better make sure I’m nearly done with the album. And lo, I am. I have two tracks that I’m waiting on additional instrumentation and one track that still needs more work (or possibly it gets scraped). The other 12 […]
CG028: 3 Final Previews of Sci Fi Drinking Songs
There’s just three days left for my Kickstarter for Sci Fi Drinking Songs. Instead of sharing one song a day, I’m gonna share three songs that have rough mixes already. These are “Doctor of Gallifrey”, “A Boy and His Frog” and “Romulan Ale”. If you enjoy the music, I want you to do two things. […]
CG020: 2 Sci Fi Drinking Songs In Wales
We went to Caernarfon today and saw the castle. Wow! If you ever get a chance to go there. DO! it’s fantastic for a “ruin”. After a stop in Holyhead at the lighthouse and dinner on the marina, we came back. I played a set of music. But as usual, I thought I’d tease a […]
CG016: Imagine Marc Gunn in Your Living Room
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 […]
Help Kickstart Sci Fi Drinking Songs
Sci Fi Drinking Songs is the name of my next album. The album features Celtic music and drinking songs with a science fiction and fantasy flavor. You’ll enjoy tons of Celtic Geek songs inspired by Doctor Who, Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly, Lord of the Rings, The Muppets, zombies (including Shaun of the Dead), and […]
CG014: Interview with The Stubby Shillelaghs
Today, I am pleased to share my first ever interview on the podcast. It was performed by my friend Laramie Williams at StarFest last weekend. I was sick so I asked Laramie to sit down with The Stubby Shillelaghs to talk about their music and origin story. But before you listen, I want to let […]
