What kinds of events do you play?

Anything! I mean it. Parties of any kind, fundraisers, business openings, community events… the list goes on.

If you want bagpipes, I’m your guy!

I’ve played for audiences of two and of two thousand. No event is too big or too small.

How far do you travel?

I live near Rochester center and anything within an hour drive incurs no travel cost.

Anything more than an hour outside of Rochester may have additional travel charges.

I’ve travelled as far as Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Alaska!, for different events. Have bagpipes, will travel.

Get in touch and I’d love to hear about yours.

Jake’s Promise

No matter what you hire me for, you’ll receive:

• 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.

• Uniform/Dress

  • I will be dressed in full highland gear appropriate for your event.

• Arrival

  • I arrive at least 30 minutes before I’m supposed to perform. This allows me time to meet you, settle in, and, most importantly, warm up the pipes!

• At the Event

  • Don’t stress about the piper. I’ve played hundreds of events and have seen it all. The show goes on no matter what! (Ask me about the time the organ died and I impromptu piped the bride down the aisle!)

    I work with other event professionals to make sure everything runs according to plan.
