Hello.  As you can see by the picture, I play the Great Highland Bagpipes.  This is your opportunity to see how I can meet your piping needs.  I am available for weddings, parties, Irish or Scottish events, funerals, memorial services, and any other event that would be that much better with a piper.  Free downloads of me playing pipes are available.

My photo gallery might give you an idea of some of the activities I have been involved in.  I play in two pipe bands, as noted below, and for a fun diversion, I play clarinet in a traditional jazz band.  That’s Dixieland or New Orleans style, if you aren’t sure what traditional jazz is.  It’s fun, toe-tapping music.  So, if you find you have a need for a jazz band for your party or dance, I can help you with that too.

I’ve been involved in musical pursuits all my life.  I have a not so great collection of guitars and banjos and a much better group of ukuleles.  I sang in college madrigals and road shows, with the Austin Civic Choir in Austin, Texas and with a championship barbershop chorus.  So, music is in my soul, so to speak, and I think my varied musical experiences will help me understand your musical needs.

The shuttle pipe tunes that you can click on and hear, will give you an idea of a quieter version of piping for indoor parties and listening.  I can do that on a solo basis or arrange for a duet of small and shuttle pipes for your indoor occasion.  If you would really prefer a larger Highland bagpiping group, I can arrange for two pipers or even two pipers and drums.  A small band!

I live in the Columbia River Gorge and typically provide musical services within 1-2 hours of my home.  But, regardless of where your event is, let’s discuss how I might meet your needs.  We can talk about where and when your event is, what you need in a piper and how I can provide a service for you.  I look forward to it.
