I am a solo bagpiper proficient in the recognizable mass band tunes as well as both Wedding and Funeral Specialty Tunes. I formerly played with the City of Greenville Pipes and Drums and have been playing professionally for seven years now. I am very flexible and happy to answer any questions about how my services might fit into your next event.
Alston played beautifully for my husband's service. I highly recommend him.
We chose this to supplement the entertainment. A very special treat not only for the guests arriving at our wedding but for anyone in the vicinity. Timely and professional in communication as well.
Alston was great at my son’s wedding. His playing was a highlight for the wedding festivities on St. Patrick’s Day. Alston was easy to work with, and very accommodating. It was perfect!
Lewis did a wonderful job on my husband gravesite ceremony, He played them beautifully. Very respectful gentleman and easy to work with I would totally recommend him .
Alton was great - a talented performer - he was the highlight of my fathers celebration of life. Arrived on time and accommodated all my requests.
This was a great experience. Alston was very professional. Everyone loved listening to him. He chose some familiar tunes. We are hoping to book him again next year.
Alston is not only an amazing player, but also an amazing young man. He was very flexible and accommodating for the memorial service for my father in law. I would highly recommend and would also book again if in need of his service again.
Alston was compassionate to our situation, easy to work with, professional and played beautifully at my grandfather’s funeral. I was so happy to be able to grant his wishes of having a bagpiper there and Alston exceeded our expectations. Thank you!
I was in need of a bagpiper for my fathers funeral and found Mr. Lewis. He was fantastic. He kept in constant communication and gave advice on what has worked in the past. He plays beautifully and the closure of the service with him walking away as he was playing Amazing Grace, I could not hold back my tears. I would strongly recommend him for any bagpiper need.
He stayed in contact, showed up on time and did an excellent job! I highly recommend him!
Alston has played for our processions each May for several years. He makes sure he has all the details and is very prompt. He always delivers more than we hoped for. We book early to make sure we can get him. He is friendly and so accommodating. You can count on him for any event. I am glad to know he will be available for more events.
Stayed in contact and made sure every detail was to perfection. In a time of great sorrow for our family he performed with pageantry that was very fitting to our day.
Alston served as the bagpiper for our debutante ball in November of 2019. He was extremely professional and easy with which to work. His suggested song selections worked well for our procession into dinner, and I have received many compliments about his playing. Alston really made our event special, and I would certainly hire him again.
Price Range: $175 and up- (dependent on timing and distance)
My goal is to work with my clients to appropriately adjust and plan for the event to make it a success. My audience can expect appropriate tune selections for a memorable occasion.
I am a medical student at the Medical University of South Carolina. I grew up playing bagpipes in Greenville with the City of Greenville Pipes and Drums and have been playing professionally for 5 years.
