Weeklies: Music and Memories (Patreon)

Greetings Gunn Runners

I had a cool realization about how to promote my music with short videos on social media, and why it’s worth doing.

Reels remind me of car commercials. In 30-60 seconds, you hear a catchy song while learning about a car. Even if the car doesn’t interest you, the song might.

Nearly every day for a week and a half, I’ve posted short videos sharing my popular choruses on TikTok and Instagram. I interspersed the videos with shots from my Celtic Invasion Vacations.

I hear a song, it brings me the feels and the memories. I get flooded with them. It doesn’t take long. Just 10-20 seconds.

I shared videos with choruses from “Mushrooms”, “Don’t Go Drinking With Hobbits”, “The Long Arm”, “We’ll Have a Pint”, and even “Bring Me Home, Boys.”

I’ll put out more next week. But that makes me curious…

QUESTION OF THE DAY

POLL: What song would you like to hear pop up in your social media feed?

My projects and upcoming events:

IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODFEST AND ARTS MARKET. Join me on March 8 from 12-6 pm at The Lost Druid Brewery in Avondale Estates, Ga. I’m performing along with Kinnfolk, The Muckers, and May Will Bloom. You can help fund the festival as well through. Follow on Facebook.

KICKSTARTER. The Kickstarter for Emerald Wave is live! There are a full 14 bands on this album and  a Field Guide to Modern Celtic Music. The main goal is reached. Now we need to raise $2800 to fully fund the PodFest.  Make a Pledge now!

INSTAGRAM ANYONE? I am still posting almost daily as I continue my TikTok experiment. But if you’re on Instagram and sometimes even Facebook, you’re prolly getting the video shorts.

PATRONAGE HAS ITS PERKS

Thank you. Truly.

Every time you listen to a song. Watch a video. Read one of these updates. Show up to a concert. Or just quietly follow along. It tells me this strange path I’m walking isn’t just mine. We’re walking it together.

Patreon is where the sparks happen first. New songs in progress. Early podcast episodes. Behind-the-scenes experiments. Half-finished ideas that sometimes grow into the next big thing. It’s my creative workshop with the door left open.

Your support doesn’t just fund music. It funds courage. It lets me try new things. Autoharp lessons. TikTok experiments. Internet concerts. Big, risky projects like Emerald Wave. All of it becomes possible because a community said, “Yes. Keep going.”

If something I’ve made has ever made you smile, laugh, sing along, or feel a little less alone — I’d love to welcome you into the Gunn Runners Club. Even a few dollars a month keeps the wheels turning and the songs coming.

And to everyone already there — 155 paid patrons and nearly 505 total members — you have my heartfelt gratitude. You are the quiet magic behind everything I do.

If supporting financially isn’t right for you right now, that’s okay. You can still follow my Patreon for free and stay in the loop. Either way, I’m grateful you’re here.

Thank you for being part of this adventure. 🍀
