Marc Gunn, Live at the Cactus Cafe, Austin, TX
Some of you may remember the “Have you met Marc Gunn?” article I did way back in February. I got wind of a benefit he’s doing for Thundering Paws, a Central Texas animal shelter, at the Cactus Cafe in Austin. Next Wednesday night (July 30), Marc’s going to use the release party of his newest CD, Whiskers in the Jar, as a fundraiser for something that he really believes in. As an added incentive, Marc announced on MySpace this morning that Cedric of the Bedlam Bards will join him on fiddle for this show too! He’s got a PDF flyer for the show (2.5MB) if anyone’s in Austin and wants to share the information in hardcopy.

It is also the premiere Celtic venue in Austin. All of the coolest Celtic groups who tour through Austin stop off at the Cactus Cafe, including my band, the Brobdingnagian Bards.
