Chris was fantastic. Very personable and professional. Would recommend him for any event!
Chris was hired to play his bagpipes for my grandmother's memorial service. He was a pleasure to work with from the start. He communicated quickly, was an extreme help in choosing the music and stayed in touch throughout. He arrived early, dressed immaculately and truly played beautifully. It really was a special addition to a heartbreaking day. We received many compliments about his music and how him playing was wonderful. If you're considering hiring him to play, I wouldn't think twice. It wouldn't have been as special of a service without him.
I am the volunteer coordinator at Colorado Palliative & Hospice Care here in Denver, Colorado. My career background is in marketing and event production in arenas and stadiums. This experience breeds desire to host exceptional events for our hospice patients. We were hosting a Veterans Day special event for the residents of the Golden Pond Retirement Community and Memory Care. We had twenty-one (21) Veterans residing in this community. I wanted to make Veterans Day 2023 special and somehow the idea came to me that a bagpiper would be a tremendous asset to the memory of this event. We had him walk down a beautiful staircase into the room where the Veterans and their families were seated. I am writing to report that Christopher Frazier, our bagpiper who I found and hired through Gig Salad, was an extraordinary gift to us. Not only did he play Amazing Grace in a style that brought tears to many eyes, Christopher also helped present the commemorative plaques and walked over to each Veteran, handed each Veteran their plaque and shook their hand. He also performed a couple of songs in the Memory Care Unit that houses residents with some form of dementia. It was absolutely joyous to see their reaction to his music. I wholeheartedly and without any reservation, strongly recommend Christopher Frazier as a skilled professional who will undoubtedly raise the bar on entertainment for your next family, colleagues, and corporate events.

Short History
I have been playing bagpipes off and on for about 15 years. Prior to joining the military in 2011, I played with Las Vegas Pipes and Drums. Playing the pipes took a back seat for a few years until I joined Cross Creek Pipes and Drums in 2015 while I was stationed in North Carolina. For the last couple years, I have been stationed in Colorado Springs and currently play with Pikes Peak Highlanders Pipes and Drums.
Testimonial from past performance
"Chris, and his daughter were such a wonderful surprise for our mother's Christmas and 80th birthday surprise. Dressed in full regalia, they played and danced and entertained the whole neighborhood with their songs and talent. Brightened everyone's holiday in this challenging time. So kind and thoughtful. Chris knew it was a surprise and really went all out to play Christmas carols, traditional songs, and "Happy Birthday." Highly recommend to any in the area."
