The bagpipes carry grief and honor in a way few instruments can. I approach every memorial with quiet dignity and deep respect for those being remembered.

Thomas Addis Emmet Memorial
About

Rooted in Irish Tradition.
Performing Across New York.

I have been playing the Great Highland Bagpipes since 2008, returning to active performance in 2018. Since then I have become a regular presence across the New York tri-state area's Irish and Irish-American community — performing at weddings, memorials, cultural ceremonies, and landmark public occasions.

My work is closely tied to New York's long-standing Irish traditions. Highlights include performing at the NASDAQ closing bell in recognition of the NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade, and at the Irish Embassy in New York in honor of the 2026 Grand Marshal Robert James McCann.

I perform with the County Cork Pipe and Drums — a band established in 1936 with deep ties to both County Cork and the New York Irish community. In 2026, I will return to Ireland to compete in the Fleadh Cheoil in Belfast.
