Artist history
Several years ago, I saw someone playing a set of pipes. I have always loved the sound of the pipes, but had never seen one up close. I was amazed that so much sound could come from an acoustic instrument. Curious, I searched the web to find out how bagpipes work, I also found pages on how to learn, and at that point I was hooked.

Having been trained in music from an early age, I began teaching myself the pipes. Later I spent a year as part of Austin's own award winning Silver Thistle Pipes and Drums ( www.silverthistle.com ) where I received expert instruction. Since then I have continued to study bagpipe music and practice daily.


I am available for weddings, parties, corporate events, funerals and special services throughout the central Texas area. In addition to my experience on the bagpipes, I have over 20 years on guitar and general music theory.

Instruments
Great Highland Bagpipes. I also play/have played guitar, bass, drums, sax, mountain dulcimer, and a little mandolin.
