Overview

The sound of the bagpipes evokes an emotional response within us that is unlike anything else and is truly special.

When hiring a piper for your special event, experience matters. For over 25 years I have been privileged to perform successfully at hundreds of events of all types including funerals, weddings, reunions, gatherings, celebrations, etc. Each occasion is unique and there is a level of professionalism that you only get with experience.

As your piper, I will work closely with you to ensure that thought and care goes into the planning process as well as the performance. It is my goal to do everything in my power to ensure that your special event is unique and memorable.

Wow! Highly recommend

A very talented piper and a true gentleman. Played one song requested that he didn’t know just days earlier as well as many others. It was a perfect celebration of life for my father in law.
He is also a true gentleman.

Above and Beyond

No words can describe the over and beyond and extra mile that Johnny went through. He answered the call for a Piper to play at a great Man’s graveside service that originated by me contacting a college buddy that is a Piper… a few emails and facebook posts later Johnny answered the call and drove a round trip a total of 6 hours!!!! All the family continues to talk about is “the Piper”. I have had the honor of hearing and seeing many Pipers and I know they love being known as the “Piper”. So whether it be you or your loved ones funeral, a wedding, a birth or you just want a Piper to walk you from the parking lot to your office desk then Johnny is your PIPER!!!!!

He is an excellent piper with a very good presentation.

I was pleased to have Johnny Miner with us for our 50th anniversary dinner. My wife and I have strong ties to Scotland and it really added to the occasion. His technical performance is superb, and his piper "uniform" is fantastic. HIs repertoire is expansive and his demeanor very pleasant and accommodating.
In this event it was actually fun to "pay the piper."

Absolutely Brilliant

Johnny was exactly what we needed to send our family hero out the way he would have loved. Beautiful Amazing Grace coordinated with the Honor Guard and at the end of the service wrapped it up with our toast and the Parting Glass. It was truly epic, our family commented that it was sending my brother out with true Power and Grace. Thanks be to Johnny that was a memory I will have forever.

Graveside service in loving memory of Dad

We could not have been more pleased with our decision in hiring Johnny. He was professional, informative, and flexible especially working with the military part of the service. Johnny helped put our minds at ease. The service was exactly what Dad wanted & then some. The beauty of Johnny playing as we drove up to the graveside brought so much joy & peace to the entire family. His traditional exit was beautiful.

Graveside service for mom..

We hired Johnny to play for our graveside service for our mother. He was amazing. The music added so much to the spirit of saying goodbye to mom with joy and celebrating. Bagpipe music really was a special touch and Johnny brought everything. It was an awfully warm day. He joined us in the shade of a huge tree at the cemetery. It was wonderful.

Fantastic

We hired Johnny for our graveside service at the cemetery and it was beautiful. He was dressed in the traditional wear - so great. His music made the service complete. He played respectful and calming music for a prelude, performed a musical number (Be Still My Soul), and concluded with the postlude. It was freezing outside and he played continuously, which was amazing. It truly made the event terrific and had everyone in tears with how sentimental, spiritual, and beautiful it turned out. I know my uncle was smiling from above. I would rebook Johnny for any future events where I’d like bagpipes played.

Perfect

Johnny played the bagpipes at my mothers graveside service. It made the experience far more special than our family could have imagined. Thank you!

Miner the bag pipe man.

Miner was easy to work with. He was competent bag pipe player. He dressed the part. Was on time and patient. Days was cloudy and cold and he was outside so he had to keep his instrument warm too so that it played correctly. I would and will hire him again when the time is right.

Amazing Piper - Amazing Experience

We hired Johnny for our wedding to play our processional and recessional music. He was a last minute addition to our ceremony and he made it a home run.

He was flexible, worked with us on the music we wanted, Highland Cathedral for the processional, and since it was on May 4th, he was able to play the Star Wars theme song for us on the recessional which was the icing on the cake.

Seeing him lead, and hearing the Pipes played flawlessly while the processional happened put chills down everyone's spine.

Everyone commented on how it was one of the best weddings and the piper was amazing.

About

Playing the bagpipes has been a passion of mine for many years and is a big part of who I am. I love sharing this passion with others. I have had over 25 years experience, playing successfully at many hundreds of events of all types. Having received instruction for some of the world's best bagpipers, I have competed as a highly ranked competitive solo bagpiper as well as being a part of one of the highest ranking competitive pipe bands in the western United States for two decades. I have traveled all over North America playing the bagpipes, and have even traveled to Scotland to compete at the World Pipe Band Championships. Piping is a life long passion of mine and it is a pleasure to share this special music with others.
