80th birthday party

Not only did Dan play all my mom’s favorites but he was kind and took the time to explain how bagpipes work and some history. His performance was the peak of my mom’s 80th birthday party!

Amazing

I hired Dan for my Dad’s funeral. He was truly amazing. He was very professional, knew Scottish traditions, and asked what songs we wanted played. He showed up on time and was a professional from start to finish and he sounded absolutely amazing.

What to expect

I will have open communication with you regarding your event on what your wishes are and what I can provide. We will go over song lists, and I will provide audio samples so you can plan your event with confidence. I will arrive to your event early to tune my instrument to have it sounding it’s best. I will come in traditional Highland dress with several variations depending on how formal your event is.

About

I have been a musician for over 20 years and play a variety of instruments as well as choral experience. In my day job, I am a registered nurse with the US Department of Veterans Affairs. I started playing the bagpipes as a way to honor our nation’s fallen heroes. When a veteran passes away in the medical center, I lead the honor guard that takes the remains from the inpatient unit to the morgue. I also play bagpipes for a variety of ceremonies for active duty military and veterans for the VA throughout the year. As a member of Capital City Pipes and Drums in Columbus, OH, I am an active performer, as well as a group and solo bagpipe competitor.
