The award-winning “bagpipers who rock” will bring the heat on April 1 with traditional tunes and renditions of rock favorites
The Red Hot Chilli Pipers, a band built around bagpipes, will return to the Ashwaubenon P.A.C. on Friday, April 1 at 7:30 p.m.
The Pipers pump out a signature musical fusion known as “bagrock,” with audience members delighted by traditional bagpipe tunes (“The Flowers of Scotland” and “Amazing Grace”) as well as clever covers of pop/rock anthems (Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” “Clocks” by Coldplay, “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol, and AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck”).
Formed in 2002, the Scottish band rose quickly in international popularity after winning the top prize on the UK TV show “When Will I Be Famous?” in 2007. The Pipers have performed in sold out venues from Beijing to New York, displaying a peak level of musicianship in their 20 years of existence. Four members have degrees from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
The April 1 concert at the Ashwaubenon PAC is an experience that should not be missed, if you can handle it! It’s bagpipes with attitude, drums with a Scottish accent, a blazing rock band and a show so hot it should carry its own health warning!
The Red Hot Chilli Pipers upcoming performance is sponsored by Bayland Buildings, Inc. and presented as part of the Ashwaubenon P.A.C.’s Brodhagen Dental Care Touring Series.
