Overview

I play the highland bagpipes in the greater Springfield & Southwest Missouri Area for functions ranging from funerals and memorials to golf tournaments and weddings and everything in between.

I am a school bus driver so my availability may be limited during the week but under certain circumstances I can fulfill weekday performances if booked well in advance.

Proud to be a Union Piper.

Professional and fun wedding bagpiper.

I booked Jayson for my nieces wedding and he did a fantastic job! Would give 6 stars if I could.
After he piped in the bride and groom to dinner and gave his pipers toast we invited him to stay for the rest of the reception and he was great with the kids and some of the adults who had a lot of questions about the bagpipes.

Lovely music for my father’s funeral.

Jason provided very moving and reverent tributes to my late father at the funeral and the following gravesite services.
He arrived early and prepared and made the fulfilling one of dad’s wishes very easy. Would recommend.

Booking information

Gig length: 20 - 60 minutes

What to expect

I like to arrive early with the pipes already warmed up and tuned to make the event run smoothly.
Putting me in contact directly with your coordinator or director is the best way to ensure the pipes add to the day in the best possible way.

The highland bagpipes are an instrument that evoke a lot of emotion but they are also quite loud and are without volume control.
Make sure your venue (especially indoor venues) allows pipes before making a booking.
When appropriate a demonstration
may be arranged. This can be in-person or virtual.

Typical rates are about $200-$300 but may be expanded depending on the time requirements for your event.
I also need to charge a modest travel fee for events taking place more than 30 miles from Springfield Missouri. This fee is calculated and quoted based on the distance needed to travel.

About

I learned & played the highland pipes in High School and College ((phone number hidden)7-ish) but took a long hiatus as life and family took priority. In 2023 I started back up again and took right back to it (Just like riding a bike).

I welcome invitations to perform, whether you’re celebrating your union to your forever love, memorializing a beloved friend or family member, setting the mood at a golf tournament, or any event you want to make memorable.

Contact me for a consultation and lets make your event one that won’t be soon forgotten.
