An American Bagpiper.
I’m Jayson Wilkins. I’m an American Bagpiper based in Springfield Missouri.
I’ve loved the bagpipes for as long as I can remember but took them up after a high school theatre production of the musical “Brigadoon.”
I took a long hiatus to focus on college, a career, family, and community but I decided to pick them back up in later adulthood.
I love playing the pipes and put in a lot of time and effort to keep on a regular practice and continuing education schedule.
I am a founding member and organizer of Springfield Missouri’s first community bagpipe and drum band (Currently under development. Ask me how to get involved).
I offer bagpiping services in the Springfield Missouri region for events like funerals, weddings, sporting events, general entertainment, etc.
An incomplete list of events I have played bagpipes for include:
The Price Cutter Charity Championship (Korn Ferry Professional Golf Tour)
Nixa Cultural Festival
Ash Grove Veterans Memorial Dedication
Metropolitan Wedding Expos (Springfield & Joplin)
Springfield St. Andrew’s Society Burns Supper
Local and Destination Weddings
Local Funerals and Memorials
