Eli Clemens

I started playing the bagpipes at age six, and twenty five years later I am still learning new tunes, and enjoy offering events the unique ambience that only a bagpipe can bring. I am based in Washington, DC, and available throughout Maryland, Virginia, and the broader Mid-Atlantic, especially for weekend and evening engagements.

Beyond the great Highland bagpipes, I also play the Scottish smallpipes, border pipes, Irish flute, the whistle, and uilleann pipes. From wedding processionals to graveside services, I will work with you to choose the right tunes and instrument for your event. If I am not able to make your event, I am happy to help connect you with another local piper in the area.
