About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

I have played the bagpipes for over 50 years, and have been a member of three bands - The Staten Island Pipers, the Richmond County Pipes and Drums, and the New Hampshire Police Association Pipes and Drums before relocating to northern Minnesota. I have taught two beginner classes for pipers, and am currently a local community education instructor for the bagpipes. I have played in numerous parades, retirement parties, memorial services and was the piper for a local theatre production of Brigadoon. I appear in proper Highland regalia. I have a wide range of Irish and Scottish tunes in my repertoire.

Review by Rebecca K.

Funeral•Reviewed on August 18, 2025•From Grand Rapids, MN

John was incredibly easy to work with, professional and talented. He played for a funeral at our church and I would highly recommend him for your bagpiping needs. He dressed in full Scottish attire, which was very fitting for the service. His music was a wonderful addition!

Community Event•Reviewed on May 25, 2025•From Park Rapids, MN

He did a fantastic job setting a great tone for our 5K race! As it was running through a Veterans Memorial, spectators were tearing up - he truly provided an emotional feeling to the experience. He was punctual, cordial, and seemed to truly embrace and appreciate his important part of our day! Thank you! 10/10!

The Boreal Bagpiper:

Thanks Bryan! It was a pleasure to play for your fantastic event!

Thank you so much for the beautiful music, the choice of songs and for making it so easy! You made the service everything my dad would have wanted and deserved! God Bless you!

The Boreal Bagpiper:

Thank you so much, Shannon. It was an honor for me to be part of the ceremony for your dad. I wish I could have met him. He was my kind of man!
