Overview
Are you looking for memorable Celtic music for a wedding, special birthday, graduation or funeral? Do you want to feature Irish or Scottish music at your family or corporate events and festivities? I play the Great Highland Bagpipes for these occasions plus civil unions, anniversaries, memorials, golf outings, retirements and more, providing a wide range of music at affordable rates.
Choosing the right piper makes a huge difference to your event - especially with bagpipes quality of sound matters. I have a large repertoire of tunes ranging from Irish, Scottish, Americana/military to modern. I will be on time, dressed well, flexible to your needs and can provide excellent references.

March 17, 2019Amazing performance!
Scott was professional and prompt. His performance was amazing. He played both traditional and contemporary music on the pipes flawlessly. He also provided a brief history and educational talk in the bagpipes along with his personal story of how he came to learn how to play. It was joy to have him play the bagpipes at our dinner party. I hope to hire Scott at every event in which we need a bagpiper and I will certainly recommend Scott to anyone I know who needs a bagpiper. He was fantastic!!

July 5, 2017Great Experience!!! Excellent Bagpiper!!!
Had a great experience with Scott leading our wedding party out of our reception and through the streets as we headed to our after-party. Very accommodating with our time request and he took requests from our guests for particular songs they wanted to hear. Very professional and accommodating. Wouldn't hesitate to hire him again!

What to expect
Expect an excellent musician in full Highland gear able to play a wide variety of Scottish, Irish, and American tunes. I am professional, on time, dressed impeccably, and flexible to meet your needs (from posing with guests to playing requests.)
About
I am an award-winning piper who competes as a grade 2 soloist with EUSPBA (Eastern United States Pipe Band Association.) I have been consistently ranked one of the top 10 bagpipe players in the Eastern United States.
I have performed at weddings, birthday parties, funerals, graduations, golf outings, press events, fund raisers, Relay For Life events in NJ and Philadelphia, PA, Highland games, Celtic festivals, and gigs at bars and restaurants. Well versed in traditional bagpipe tunes (Amazing Grace, Scotland the Brave, Highland Cathedral, etc.) and Piobaireachd (the classical music of the Great Highland Bagpipes) I also enjoy playing American (military, God Bless America) and modern tunes (We Will Rock You, Hey Jude, Fix You/Coldplay.) I will create a mix of tunes to suit your preferences and event.
