Joshua Robieson

As a Bagpiper with over 20 years of performance experience, you'll receive a warm Professional, Dependable, and Knowledgeable Bagpiper for your event. As shown in the photo, Joshua Robieson wears the professional attire with the Kilt and traditional Scottish outfit. Communication is key for any event, so you'll receive communication from him for assisting in the proper planning for his performance. Joshua Robieson is able to go with the flow too. As with most weddings, and many events, things sometimes don't go exactly as planned. With his experience, being knowledgeable and flexible come in handy. Arriving early is always a must as well.

Joshua Robieson is a bagpiper from the Greater Chicago area. With over 20 years of experience performing the bagpipes, he would love to provide bagpipe music at your event. He performs primarily at Weddings, Parties, St. Paddy's Day events, Funerals, Restaurant events, and Concerts. He is available for other events as well.

Robieson got his start learning the bagpipes at nine years of age with his father, Dr. Timothy Robieson (also available for events), in the Doonaree Pipe Band, South Suburbs of Chicago. He's also performed on stage for a Celtic Rock Band from Chicago with his bagpipes. He's learned other instruments such as the Mandolin, Guitar, and Ukulele, and now performs folk music locally with his friends.

Robieson is now engaged and soon to be wed to the love of his life, who is also a folk musician. With her beautiful voice, and ability to play the violin, piano, and guitar, they plan on performing together soon in their own music project.

The main technicalities that Joshua Robieson would need to know is his time of arrival, when and where he should start performing the bagpipes, and for how long. He accepts requests as well, although with the hundreds of thousands of tunes existing, it is not guaranteed that he'll know the requested tune. Amazing Grace, Danny Boy, Scotland the Brave, and Wearing of the Green are the most requested tunes, and he performs them very well.

If he is hired to perform for more than a half hour, bottled water or a glass of water will be necessary and is requested to be provided, along with a periodic break.

The parking situation should be made clear, in case parking is difficult, requires payment, is of a far distance, or other details.

Note that if it is extremely cold or if there is inclement weather, he may need to tune his bagpipes in doors somewhere in the facility. Outdoor performances may be limited due to inclement weather as well. Note that it is possible for bagpipes to be performed outdoors in freezing temperatures, but not for very long.
