Wouldn’t it be amazing if there was a musician who not only supported No Kill Animal Shelters, but wrote songs about it? In fact, there is. His name is Marc Gunn and he sings fun Celtic songs…. with a twist. Marc is the man behind “Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers”, a comedic album of Irish songs rewritten about cats. His song “Black Is …the Color (of My Cat’s Fur)” even includes a plea to congress to make ALL shelters No-Kill.
For over ten years, Marc Gunn is a seasoned musician. He has performed traditional and not-so-traditional Celtic music at venues from Ireland to Italy and everywhere in between. Now he’s bringing his unique style of Celtic music to Lafayette for an evening of Celtic music and fun.
Marc Gunn, Celtic American and Folk Musician and Podcaster, will be in concert presented by Folks of Acadiana to benefit non-profit no-kill animal rescue Acadiana Humane Society. The concert is on Saturday, October 9, 2010 at 7PM at the First Lutheran Church at 301 West Farrel Rd in Lafayette, LA. Tickets are $15.00 each, children under 12 are free. You may purchase your tickets at our Petco Adoption events on Saturdays, or by calling Acadiana Humane Society at 337-668-4484 or Scotty Weeks (Folks of Acadiana) at 337-359-3717.
