January 18, 2025I've been around bagpipe music and pipers for over 25 years. The quality of his playing and the unexpected chanter techniques caught my ear even as I was recessing down the church isle! I am more than pleased with the tunes we selected and give my highest recommendation. A+++

August 4, 2024For our Scottish and non-Scottish guests, the music provided old world charm. A bit of home away from home. Everything was very professional!

October 8, 2023Joe was great. Bagpiping was beautiful! Joe was very organized. Arrived early.. left Kate so he could puke the bridal party back into limo. So much fun when he came into church and played the bride and groom down the aisle!
Perfect in every way.

I have been playing the pipes for over twenty years and have had the honor of competing with my bandmates at the Midwest Pipe Band Association Highland Games. When I first heard the pipes as a child, it really resonated with me and inspired me to learn to play. The bagpipe has the power to evoke strong emotion in those that listen, and I always feel privileged to share music with my clients during their important milestones.
