Marc Gunn is the singer and autoharpist for the Brobdingnagian Bards, but before he started The Bards, Marc was a folk singer/songwriter.

Soul of a Harper features music recorded solo from 2000-2003, including his beautiful vocal balladry and unique style of autoharping. Warm and quieting with a touch of bardic fun, Soul of a Harper is an autoharper's spiritual journey through Celtic songs. It attempts to capture the feel of a traditional bardic harper with just an autoharp and vocals. Just a week after it was released, it was chosen by Austin radio's Celtic Storm as one of the best Celtic albums of 2003.

If you enjoy original Celtic songwriting or traditional Celtic ballads, you will love this inspiring album by one of Texas' loved Celtic songwriters.

Reviews:
"a delightfully homespun collection of instrumentals and songs about dwarves and elves, rebels and Ireland, and trad a capella such as 'My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose.'"
—Austin Chronicle

"one of best folk singers you'll hear" —John Wilmott, Celtic Ways

"I wanted to let you know I love the album. Your voice is wonderful...perfection." —Stacy Dunaway, TX
