July 17, 2025A great way to start a party
I hired The Lone Piper to play and march into a birthday celebration, leading the grandchildren. Doug was a hit with the guests and the children! His appearance and music gave the party a joyous start! Doug arrived early to acquaint himself with the location. He provided excellent suggestions for the music he played. I highly recommend him for your event!

About
I am a solo piper who will play bagpipes for your event or party. I will arrive at your event dressed in traditional Highland attire, and will play the tunes you desire. I may play one or two tunes at a ceremony, or 45-60 minutes of playing for a party. I currently perform with The Medinah Highlanders Pipes & Drums, and have attended the Balmoral School of Piping. I have played at several Law Enforcement Agency and private memorial services, and entertained at St. Patrick's Day parties.
