June 21, 2026Andrew provided an experience at our wedding that will be in our memories forever. His excellent Bagpipe talent and authentic tradition had several guests with tears in their eyes as they listened to Mr. Coulter's performance.

February 15, 2026I hired Andrew as a surprise for my brother's wedding day party which was also his birthday. Andrew arrived even few minutes before scheduled time, flawlessly played every song on the list I had given him and was personable and charming. Was the highlight of my brother's wedding day. Would highly recommend!

Deborah, thank you for the kind words! I enjoyed playing at the event!
Price range: Starts at $300
Languages: English
Gig length: 20 - 90 minutes
You can expect an outstanding and professional performance that I can tailor specifically to the event and to your needs. I know most tunes that you have heard on the bagpipes and I can even learn songs that you request!
I have been playing the bagpipes for over 20 years. I started in 4th grade at St Thomas Episcopal School in Houston, TX. Highlights were winning the Grade 3 North American Championships in Canada in 2008 and placing 3rd at the Juvenile World Championships in Scotland in 2010. I have also completed as a solo piper, winning various competitions throughout my career. After high school, I attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, where I served as the Pipe Major and Cadet in Charge of the Pipes and Drums band. Throughout my 6 years in the Army, I continued to play the bagpipes. Currently, I live in San Antonio, TX and I play in the Grade 1 Saint Thomas Alumni Pipe Band in Houston, TX.
The main requirement for the bagpipes is that I will need a place to tune my bagpipes prior to the actual performance. I will need about 5-10 minutes to do so properly. Other than that, it is a fairly easy set up and no other equipment is required!
