Help make your event more memorable with beautiful bagpipe music for all occasions!
I've been playing bagpipes for almost 20 years, including several years with a competition pipe band and even at the world championships in Scotland!
I've played for weddings, funerals, birthdays, St. Patrick's Day celebrations, teacher appreciation days, running events, church activities, and more!
Bagpipes have an amazing, unique quality that can add so much more to an already special day.
Adam was fantastic. Played beautifully and everyone enjoyed it!
Our experience was phenomenal. Adam was amazing. He clearly understood what was needed to give the gift and magic of bagpipes. His music was expertly delivered with real talent and skill.
Adam was friendly professional and and a very good musician. We enjoyed him and his music. He explained how the bagpipes work and answered our questions. I liked how he asked if there was anything else we would like for him to play.
Adam did a great job at my daughter’s wedding. He played outside, as guest left the cocktail party and headed into dinner. Everyone loved it!
We had hired Adam previously a few years ago to play for my Mom's 100th birthday. Several days ago, we engaged him to play for her memorial service. She passed away at 102. She was a combat nurse in WWII and afforded a military service. Mom was also the daughter of a Scottish immigrant and regarded all things Scottish as a deep part of her heritage. Adam played both at the service and again at the interment. He was prepared, skilled, inspiring and easy to communicate with beforehand. He is an outstanding musician and a real gentleman. Thank you, Adam, for making Mom's send-off so meaningful.
Personable and talented, Adam and his bagpipes were the highlight of our Scottish gathering. We would highly recommend his services.
My family could not be happier with the music Mr. Graham provided for our father's graveside service on June 11, 2022. He led the Sheriff Department and hearse procession with ‘Scotland the Brave’, during the service he performed ‘Amazing Grace’, and he closed the service with ‘For we're no' awa' tae bide awa,’ the chorus that our grandparents always sang to us as children when we parted ways.
Mr. Graham was gracious, kind, and coordinated with us between three states to make the day beautiful and a truly personalized tribute to our father. I wish I could post a short video of Mr. Graham playing.The event was made even sweeter in that Mr. Graham is local to the area where our family traveled from 6 different states to attend. Our mother was truly touched with the reverence Mr. Graham brought to the event.
It was awesome to hear him play. He even played something for the little kids before the service. I would highly recommend gigsalad.
Adam showed up on time and played the most beautiful performance! It was hot but he kept his cool and was very authentic. We will definitely use him again!!
Look no further. The premiere bagpiper in the area, hands down. Adam made our wedding extraordinary.
Adam played the pipes in honor of my Mom's 100th birthday and did a superb job. Her Father was a Scottish immigrant at the turn of 1900 and he was a piper who sent his pipes back to Scotland in response to a call for pipes to lead Scottish units into battle at the start of World War Two. Bagpipe music has always been dear to Mom's heart and Adam's stellar performance brought her tears of joy and a flood of wonderful memories. It wasn't just his music that made the day but his personable and engaging banter and style. As Mom remarked, "He looked and sounded every bit the image of a piper in the Highlands." Thank you very much, Adam!
Adam was very professional and nice to work with. He helped with song choices and performed beautifully. His performance made my mother's memorial even more meaningful. I would highly recommend hiring Adam!

I make an effort to talk with my clients about what they want and expect from my performance. Typical performances can range from 1-2 tunes, depending on the occasion - playing a bridal processional/recessional for a wedding, "Amazing Grace" at a funeral home or graveside, or playing on and off over a specified amount of time for a longer event like a party or race.
I started learning the bagpipes in 1998 under the instruction of former Black Watch pipe-major Sandy Hain.
Since then, I played several years with the Red Hackle Pipes & Drums out of Cleveland, OH, including numerous pipe competitions at various highland games, parades, and competed in the World Championships at Grade IV in 1999.
I moved to west Michigan in 2004, and have been playing solo ever since.
