Specializing in funeral music, but always adding more for any occasion, I aim to make people feel honored and brought into the spotlight through your event. Bagpiping was once associated with kings and queens, now anyone can have it.

November 2, 2025Dylan has now helped us lay two family members to rest, just a couple of months apart. I can’t imagine a more conscientious, helpful, and compassionate professional. He was extremely responsive and went above and beyond to demonstrate genuine care and sensitivity toward our family’s wishes. We especially appreciated his willingness to incorporate a particular tartan that had special meaning to us. We are grateful for the appropriate and moving musical selections Dylan chose. He is an excellent piper, and he performed with deep respect and grace, helping us achieve the sense of dignity we wanted for our service. We are deeply grateful for the comfort his presence brought to our family on such a hard day. Thank you so much, Dylan.

October 24, 2025Dylan was amazing! Communication prior to the event was superb. No surprises! As for the music, Dylan captivated the crowd and his piping was right on with what we discussed and wished for Friend Scott's Rememberance.

September 11, 2025Dylan was kind, professional , and organized . Dylan played at my mothers funeral and he elicited such emotion and memories for all of moms Children. Scotland was one of mom's favorite vacation spots and loved the bagpipe.
Dylan took the time to stop at our home a few days after the service to not only ask how we were doing but to make sure he had met our expectations. He certainly did and he went above and beyond to give us a book abut heaven. Dylan was an integral part of honoring our mother and we are all beyond grateful.
Dylan is a keeper. Many thanks

Price range: $205-350. 1 hour min at 205, plus 67 cents a mile
Languages: English
Gig length: 5 - 120 minutes
I charge an 1 hour minimum at 205 dollars as well as 67 cents per mile to and from the event. I need a 10 minute break for every 15 minutes of continuous playing.
Songs that I can play by memory I can walk to but anything else I need to stand in one place and have a music stand with sheet music to play.
Bagpipes get up to the 90-95 decibel range, and there is no way to dampen the sound. Keep this in mind when planning your event.
90 dB: lawnmower, shouting conversation
95 dB: electric drill
100 dB: night club, train, snowmobile
I started playing the bagpipes because I wanted to meet people in their pain and give a gift when they had just lost their whole world. I specialize in funeral music, but am always adding more for any occasion. My business is set apart among other musicians in that the bagpipes are unique in their sound and their effect on human emotions. No other instrument has the regal stand alone reputation. I honor people with the same instrument that has laid Kings to rest.
I love to ask for ideas on how to make your event more personal. I do a phone call before confirming any event to make sure we understand and meet your needs. I also offer a cash discount.
In door events may require me to be in a closet or a separate room as the noise is overwhelming.
