Richard Kean Bagpiper Bagpiper from Denver, CO

Professional Bagpiper Serving Denver, Colorado and the Front Range My name is Richard Kean, and I am a professional bagpiper available for weddings, funerals, memorial services, Burns Night suppers, Scottish and Celtic events, private parties, corporate gatherings, and special ceremonies throughout the Denver area and along the Colorado Front Range. I have been playing the bagpipes for more than 40 years and bring a deep respect for Scottish musical tradition to every performance. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, I began learning the pipes at a young age and have spent much of my life performing traditional and contemporary bagpipe music for audiences, families, couples, and event guests in a wide variety of settings. Bagpipes can bring something very special to an occasion. At a wedding, they can welcome guests, lead a procession, announce the couple, or create a memorable recessional. At a funeral or memorial service, a solo piper can provide a solemn and meaningful tribute, whether at a church, funeral home, graveside, or celebration of life. For Burns Night suppers and Scottish events, the pipes help set the tone, pipe in the haggis, and bring the tradition of the evening to life. When you book a bagpiper, a few important questions usually come up: where should the piper play, when should the piper play, and what music is most appropriate? I am happy to help with all of that. Some clients know exactly what they want, while others simply know they would like bagpipes included and need guidance on the best way to make that happen. Popular selections include Amazing Grace, Highland Cathedral, Scotland the Brave, The Skye Boat Song, Flowers of the Forest, Auld Lang Syne, and many other traditional tunes. I perform in traditional Scottish attire and take pride in being reliable, prepared, and respectful of the occasion. Whether your event is joyful, solemn, formal, casual, or somewhere in between, my goal is to provide music that fits the moment and gives your guests something they will remember. Have bagpipes, will travel.
