Colorado Bagpiper

08/06/2025

Hi folks, today I'm up here at the Sturgis Rally in South Dakota playing the bagpipes for William Grant Co. Owners of Tullamore Dew.

Good times here, 95 degrees and pure sunshine, thousands of Harleys, bikini clad women, bars, music stages, veterans, American Flags, and the beautiful backdrop of the Black Hills, South Dakota, which was Custer's favorite place in America.

I've played a few stages so far and will be leading the Tullamore Dew Reps onto the stage playing bagpipes immediately after Nickleback ends their show, followes by Tullamore Dew closing the show with a Toast and t-shirts being flung out to the 10,000 to 30,000 people audience.

Up here for 24 hours and back to Denver to perform for a memorial service tomorrow.

Performed a very meaningful service today for a Navy serviceman who was on the USS Rosevelt Carrier, who lost his wife recently. His brother served on the USS Midway in the late 70's.

So sad for his loss and the pipes brought back their memories together of their many trips around Scotland.

Thank you to the family for the deep honor of allowing me to celebrate the life of a good Irish lad at Clancy’s Irish Pub this week. It was a beautiful tribute, and I’m truly grateful to have been part of it. My heart is with you all.

A big shout-out to the very fun Lakewood Country Club members and staff for the 2025 Annual Member Tournament called The Sliceroo.

This marks my 10th (maybe 12th!) year piping for the final two teams on the 18th hole — from tee-off to green — as they battle it out for the win. I always pause the piping during their shots on and around the green, of course. 🎶

Tweet Kimball had always been a history buff. When she realized her birthday coincided with the Battle of Waterloo, she began referring to her birthday party as a Waterloo — a tradition that has lived on for decades after her death.  This year, the Cherokee Ranch and Castle Foundation will carry ...

Have a meaningful Memorial Day folks.

Remembering all those who lost their lives for our country, and for the countries of our allies.

Thank you to Luana for having me play the pipes to celebrate the St. Andrew's Methodist Church pre-travel to Scotland choir evening at St Andrew's last night.

Was epic to hear a full choir and the pipes play Amazing Grace together.

Have a great trip to Scotland to the 100 people headed over there in 2 weeks, the choir will travel on 2 different greyhound style buses and will be singing in many famous churches throughout England and Scotland.
