Kim Montgomery Johnson professional bagpiper, providing Scottish and Irish music and entertainment for Michigan and Ohio weddings, funerals, memorials, military services and parties. With 33 years of piping experience, you can trust me to provide the talent and professionalism your event deserves. Every wedding, funeral, memorial or special occasion is unique; I will work with you to carefully plan out every detail. My goal is to give more than expected, and to help make your event incredible!

I am the senior piper and band manager of the competitive, medal winning pipe band "Michigan Scottish Pipes and Drums". In 1998, I began my professional solo piping career. I've since piped for more than 1200 weddings, funerals, parties and ethnic events in the Metro Detroit area.

Some of my favorite piping events include; opening for Rod Stewart concerts, opening for the premier of the movie "Our Vietnam Generation" at the Fox, The Moving Wall visiting Hamburg MI, Relay for Life, MGM Grand Hotel and Detroit Yacht Club weddings, Oakland University ethnic program, The Clawson and Royal Oak Public Library's, and of course- piping every St Patty's Day for Guinness Beer distributors.

My Gibson Small Pipes are perfect for indoor, more intimate settings, where a softer bagpipe sound would be more appropriate. I have a special selection of Irish and Scottish tunes that sound lovely on the small pipes.

WEDDINGS - Whether you're looking for one tune, or a day filled with "Scottish or Irish flavor"; I have a wonderful selection of Scottish and Irish tunes. Tunes such as; "Murdo's Wedding", "Scotland the Brave", or the very popular song- "When Irish Eyes are Smiling". Looking for something more traditional? I also play "Here comes the Bride". For the biggest WOW! save the piper as a surprise for the recessional! You, your guests and your family will be talking about your wedding for years-make your memories incredible by including a female bagpiper.

FUNERALS AND MEMORIALS - There is nothing that touches the heart more, than to hear a piper playing "Amazing Grace", "Going Home", "Danny Boy" or "When Irish Eyes are smiling". A bagpiper is appropriate for any size funeral, memorial or military service- at the church, funeral home, cemetery or hall. Every military service should include a bagpiper; Taps and the Marine Corp. Hymn are available.

PARTIES AND SCOTTISH THEMED EVENTS - My unique Scottish ethnic diversity program "A Wee Bit O' Scotland", is entertaining and informational. Always a hit everywhere I go! Perfect for schools, libraries, assisted living facilities and heritage clubs. My 45 minute interactive program includes; piping on a variety of bagpipes, interesting facts and folklore about pipes and my piping attire, and a wee bit of Scottish history. Appropriate for any size group, and all ages.

Piping is more than just a hobby and job I love; it's an opportunity for me to help you create the perfect atmosphere and memories for your event. It doesn't just happen- it takes years of experience and a special sensitivity and attention to detail to get it right.
I have the privilege of momentarily being involved in people's lives at a very emotional time; sometime's I'm helping a couple plan the biggest celebration of their life, and sometime's, I'm working out the details for one of the most difficult times a family will ever endure. Hire experience. I love what I do! So will you.
