About Me

Uilleann piper + low/high whistles. I've been involved with the Knoxville Irish session for years now. I also play in the Johnson City and Asheville sessions. During my earlier musical adventures in Asheville, I met and started learning from uilleann piper Quinto Espina. I've also learned a lot from Cillian Vallely and Phil Sexton. Others I've met along the way have been; Paddy Keenan, Tommy Martin, Tim Britton, David Power, Michael Vignoles, Bernard Grigsby, Patrick Hutchinson and Kieran O'Hare.
