I have been playing Irish, Scottish, and other folk music on the uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes) since 1999, and have performed in a variety of venues in Ireland, the UK, and the US. I am a professional, conservatory-trained musician with a Master of Music degree from the Longy School of Music; I have also studied with some of the finest pipers in Ireland including Eamonn O Broithe, Mick O'Brien, Neillidh Mulligan, and Kevin Rowsome. My piping was recently featured on the soundtrack of the nationally-released film "Rooters: The Birth Of Red Sox Nation".
I also sing and play Irish flute and tin whistle, as well as the bodhran (Irish drum). I'm always happy to take requests!
Exactly what we wanted. Great job!
Response from Daniel Meyers, Irish Bagpipes:
Thank you, Ginny! Sorry I didn't get to speak to you afterwards but I was able to chat with Mike for a minute. What a lovely wedding--congrats to your family!
Best,
Dan
Dan provided the perfect music and mood to our mothers funeral celebration. The music at the cemetery was beautifully selected and added a special spirit as she was interred. Dan provided a gentle reminder of our mothers Irish background.
Response from Daniel Meyers, Irish Bagpipes:
Thank you Edie! It was a pleasure meeting you and your family and I'm glad I was able to help you celebrate your mom's life.
Dan was wonderful. I hired him to play as guests were coming into my mothers memorial service. He was kind and professional and everyone loved the music, I would highly recommend him!
Response from Daniel Meyers, Irish Bagpipes:
Thank you, Liza. I'm glad that my music added something to your mom's memorial service. My best to you and your family.
Dan was incredible . . . beautiful music, fun, professional, creative, flexible regarding timing, the flow of our wedding
Daniel played music for a funeral reception for my mother and was so easy to work with, thoughtful, and extremely talented. His music brought so much comfort and was enjoyed by all. He really honored our loved one and created the exact environment I was hoping for. We are all so grateful.
Response from Daniel Meyers, Irish Bagpipes:
Thank you, Lisa--it was very nice to meet you, and I'm glad the music created the atmosphere you wanted. Best to you and your family.
Great job! Wonderful!
Response from Daniel Meyers, Irish Bagpipes:
Thanks Sarah! It was a lovely wedding--congratulations to you both!
Daniel is a brilliant musician and made all the difference for my daughter and son-in-law's wedding ceremony. His music created a beautiful atmosphere to their special day. Daniel was very kind and easy to communicate with prior to the event which made a huge difference. Thank you Daniel for your music!
Daniel's beautiful music at my wife, Michele's, funeral service helped to create the grace and tranquility that you hope for at such a time....Thank You, Daniel......
Response from Daniel Meyers, Irish Bagpipes:
Thank you, Joe! I'm glad the music was what you wanted. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Having Daniel play at our wedding was an absolute delight. I contacted him about 2 weeks before the date with a last minute thought to surprise my husband for our wedding entrance. My husband is a Braveheart fanatic and was already having his groomsmen apply blue face paint before the reception to do a photo for a groomsmen Braveheart movie poster he was planning to put together for his gift to them. I contacted Daniel with a link to the Theme Song and he had no questions. Sent a contract, I sent it back, he showed up and played beautifully and was able to surprise everyone. Easy. It's the first thing my husband talks about when he tells people about our reception! Highly recommend.
Daniel understands music. He also understands grief and respect. His quiet entrance to the back of the church to perform at my mother's funeral went unnoticed until he began playing. Tears streamed down many faces as his rendition of The Black Rose was near flawless and his deep emotional vulnerability to his music showed a vulnerability in keeping with the task at hand. He was courteous in scheduling his services and even though the roads were dangerous and the weather atrocious, her was prompt and flexible. THANK YOU Daniel!!!! We are Grateful God brought us to choose you!
Response from Daniel Meyers, Irish Bagpipes:
Thank you so much for the kind review, Ellen...I'm glad you thought that my music was a fitting tribute to your mother's life. I wish you and your family the best.

I am happy to play a wide variety of Celtic traditional music, as well as taking specific requests, if you have any. My repertoire also includes some Classical pieces and hymn tunes. Please contact me directly for more information!
I have been playing the uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes) since 1999, and have performed in a variety of venues in Ireland, the UK, and the US. I am a professional, conservatory-trained musician with a Master of Music degree from the Longy School of Music; I have also studied with some of the finest pipers in Ireland including Eamonn O Broithe, Mick O'Brien, Neillidh Mulligan, and Kevin Rowsome. My piping was recently featured on the soundtrack of the nationally-released film "Rooters: The Birth Of Red Sox Nation", and I have also played for a variety of theatrical productions.
I specialize in traditional sean-nos ("old-style") airs on the pipes, and can play jigs, reels, and other Irish, Scottish and American tunes, as well as hymn tunes or special requests. I also sing and play Irish whistle ("tin whistle"), low whistle, flute and bodhran (the traditional Irish drum), and I'm happy to include these in my performance as well.
If you're interested in a duo or trio, please contact me and I can probably accommodate you; other available instruments include guitar, fiddle, cello, and Celtic harp.
The uilleann pipes aren't as loud as the Great Highland Bagpipes (Scottish bagpipes), and they have a wider musical range and a unique and beautiful sound. They can be played indoors as well as out, and are also suitable for playing with other instruments.
