Daniel Meyers Bagpiper from Somerville, MA

I have been playing the uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes) since 1999, and have performed in a variety of venues in Ireland, the UK, and the US. I am a full-time professional musician with a Master of Music degree from the Longy School of Music; I have also studied with some of the finest pipers in Ireland including Eamonn O Broithe, Mick O'Brien, Neillidh Mulligan, and Kevin Rowsome. The uilleann pipes are quieter than the Highland (Scottish) pipes and have much greater range and flexibility, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor performance in many different situations. I specialize in traditional Irish sean-nos ("old-style") airs on the pipes, and can play jigs, reels, and other types of Irish, Scottish and American tunes, as well as hymn tunes and a wide variety of special requests. I also sing and play Irish whistle ("tin whistle"), low whistle, flute and bodhran (the traditional Irish drum), and I'm happy to include these in my performance as well. If you're interested in a duo or trio, please let me know and I'll be happy to contact other musicians and arrange it for you; other available instruments include guitar, fiddle, cello, and Celtic harp.
