Piper Jones has one mission: to bring spirited, magical dance tunes and songs to everyone – from Celtic music veterans to those hearing it for the first time. EJ Jones and Frances Cunningham are a lyrical, high-energy duo based on the moving and beautiful sounds of the highland bagpipes, accompanied by unique percussive chords from the bouzouki. While maintaining a strong musical base in traditional tunes from Ireland, Scotland, and Appalachia, the duo also performs original instrumental compositions and powerful vocal harmonies, as well as stepping off stage from time to time to lead the audience in traditional Celtic dances. Piper EJ Jones has been performing and excelling as a performer of traditional highland bagpipe music and folk music since he first picked up the pipes in 1987. He co-founded the renowned group Clandestine in 1991, with whom he produced five albums and won multiple awards. He is known for his technical expertise and lyrical piping. EJ is currently serving as the Concert Director for Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, the largest Highland Games in the United States. He also teaches piping privately and at workshops and seminars across the country. In his spare time, EJ also creates bespoke, handcrafted smallpipes through his pipemaking company, Tidy Cottage Smallpipes. Frances Cunningham is a native of Southeast Texas and fell into Irish music at an early age. She learned the Irish bouzouki and became a founding member of the Celtic Rock band SixMileBridge which recorded and toured heavily from the late 1990s into the 2000s. She moved to Nashville where she picked up the tenor banjo and since then has gone on to be an in-demand accompanist and session musician in the Nashville recording scene. She is a winner of the Midwest Fleadh on both the bouzouki and banjo. Frances spent 5 years playing the bouzouki weekly on the Grand Ole Opry in the Mike Snider String Band and was very pleased to be an ambassador for the instrument to country music audiences during those years. She currently tours with EJ Jones, singing, playing, composing, and Scottish Step Dancing. She released her first solo album last year which has been featured on Fiona Ritchie’s Thistle and Shamrock as well as other radio shows. For more information visit: piperjonesband.com
