Marc Gunn is an acoustic folk musician based in New Orleans and rooted in the American Celtic song tradition and Geeky Comedy. He has been called "The Godfather of Celtic music online" for his steadfast support of indie Celtic music, free Celtic music downloads, and his award-winning Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, one of the most-popular music podcasts on iTunes. Marc Gunn's early background in folk and rock music led him to discover the roots of both genres in Celtic music. He worked for many years at Renaissance festivals and events across the country as lead vocalist of the Brobdingnagian Bards. Marc Gunn headlined a "Lord of the Rings" Oscar night party, and has been a regular at Dragon*Con since 2002.
Recent work includes parody albums setting cat-inspired lyrics to traditional Irish music, and adaptations of traditional Celtic music to contemporary blues and jazz. He released four albums in 2009 and is already back in the studio with his latest album, "Kilted For Her Pleasure", which continues his fun bawdy fusion of Celtic folk music with Geeky Comedy songs.
As a huge supporter of free Celtic music downloads, he gives away a free album on his website called "Confessions of a Celtic Music Junkie" that features songs from 9 albums ranging from traditional Celtic songs to instrumentals and American Celtic song fusions.
