Rochester Bagpiper Bagpiper from Rochester, NY

I’ve been a bagpiper since I was five years old. I’ve traveled across the U.S., Canada, and Scotland to perform, compete, and educate. I’ve played bagpipes for funerals, weddings, parties, corporate events, fundraisers, PGA Championships, and tons of other occasions. I encourage you to get in touch so we can craft a plan that works for your event. What Happens When You Hire Jake? Planning Your Event If you don’t have an idea in mind, I love creating unique ways to add bagpipes to events. Consultations are free, and I’m available to answer questions whenever you need me. Music Selection I have hundreds of tunes in my repertoire that can fit any occasion. Of course, the classics are available: “Amazing Grace,” “Scotland the Brave,” “Auld Lang Syne,” and even “Happy Birthday.” Uniform/Dress I will be dressed in full highland gear. If you want to coordinate outfits, I’d love to! Otherwise, I try to match my dress to the event. No white at weddings, black for funerals, etc. Arrival I arrive at your event at least half an hour before I’m supposed to perform. This allows me time to meet you, settle into the space, and, most importantly, tune and warm up the pipes! At the Event Don’t stress about the piper. I work with other event professionals - wedding planners, funeral directors, stage managers, etc. - to make sure you don’t worry about anything.
