Sam Thomas - Bagpiper

Piping for All Occasions I am an experienced piper available for any occasion: weddings, funerals, parties, Christmas, and New Years. My past gigs include a wedding on the Steamboat Natchez in New Orleans, a minister's inauguration in Mississippi, Police and Firefighter funerals in Mississippi, an Irishfest promo on the Fox59 morning show in Indianapolis, and performances in pubs from Wisconsin to Louisiana. I play all types of bagpipes music: from traditional favorites such as Amazing Grace and Scotland the Brave to lightning fast jigs and reels like Irish Washerwoman and the Kesh Jig.
