About Me
Fáilte! Welcome! I'm a Celtic musician and Oil Painter hailing from Mount Desert Island, Maine. I specialize in the Great Highland Bagpipes, the Irish Uilleann Pipes, Low Whistles, and Bodhrán (the Irish frame drum). I've performed throughout New England and Ireland, with highlights opening for the Chieftains at the Cork Opera House, performing with Août Gris at the 2014 Acadian World Congress, performing with Jenna Moynihan and Emmanuelle LeBlanc (Vishten) at 2016 Acadia Trad Festival, and playing alongside legendary EJ Jones and Frances Cunningham at the 2017 Piper's Gathering.
In addition to performing, I also teach classes and workshops in Traditional Irish and Scottish music. I studied music and art at Bowdoin College, and received my diploma in Irish music and Masters in Ethnomusicology from University College Cork in Ireland. I have had the privilege of studying under some of today's greatest pipers, including Cillian Vallely, Tom Rota, Caoimhín Ó Fearghail, and Mary Mitchell-Ingoldsby.
