If you expect to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and these guys come out on stage, you might be disappointed... But not for long! The Red Hot Chilli PIPERS amaze and entertain you with their "Bag-Rock" renditions of contemporary classic rock songs, and some of their own originals. Queen's "Fat Bottom Girls" never sounded better, as when played by RHCP's Great Highland Bagpipes. Of course they played their fan favorites, "Gimme All Your Lovin'", "Wake Me Up", and "Don't Stop Believin'". And no bagpipe concert would be complete without "Amazing Grace" (done the RHCP way). If you get an opportunity to see the Red Hot Chilli Pipers play... DO IT! It's just plain FUN!

I brought my 12 y/o daughter to see the Chilli Pipers. After we saw them 2 years ago on a PBS special she'd been asking me to see them live. This was our first dose of the real thing and they didn't disappoint. They were a real treat and truly unforgettable. We left the show with my daughter asking when they're coming back. =D

They really are an amazing band. The way the music is composed along with the bag pipes is so well done. They are a very tight band and the beats are always right on time. They also incorporate the audience into their show and make it interactive and fun.The overall energy of the music is high and very contagious. It was in the top 3 of my favorite shows. I cannot wait to see them in September!

The RCHPs never cease to entertain with their mash-ups of contemporary pop songs and classic bagpipe tunes. They are a must-see whether plaid runs in your blood or not.

The Red Hot Chili Pipers' performance was spirited! The music - both traditional and contemporary rock songs - was truly unique! The bagpipes, drums, guitars, piano and vocals created a poignant concert experience! Great fun!

I first heard of this band 5 years ago when in Edinburgh. I looked at them online and loved the concept and videos. They were appearing the evening of the day we flew out and I thought I would never get a chance to see them live. Well, I finally got the opportunity and it was definitely worth the 5 year wait! 3 pipers, a keyboard player, a guitarist, a bass player, a traditional drummer, 2 percussionists, and - to our surprise - a singer (from NYC) with a lovely voice. If you are familiar with the band, they performed a lot of their hits including the classic - "Smoke on the Water"/Thunderstruck". Deep Purple and AC/DC with bagpipes? Epic!! If you know them, don't miss the opportunity. If you are not familiar with them, check them out on YouTube and go see one of the most entertaining shows you will ever attend. By the way, they came to the lobby after the show to meet the fans, sign autographs, and pose with fans for photos. Regular people who love what they do and love their fans. Pretty cool and refreshing.

The singer couldn't carry a tune if his life depended on it. Every time the bagpipers played their tune was the same. The drummers and guitar players carried the band and made it bearable. I will never see them again.

If you have the chance, go see the Red Hot Chilli Pipers! It s a fun, high energy show. If you bring little ones or if you are sensitive to very loud noises, you might consider ear plugs - it s loud! But in a great way. Would be really awesome in an outdoor venue.

We really enjoy the Pipers and they never disappoint. The vocalist was a great addition to the high energy of the show. We'd never been to the Akron Civic Theater before, and that was an added treat. It's an amazing piece of interior design.

The Red Hot Chili Pipers...a GRAND SHOW! An eclectic blend of the traditional 'pipes with rock & roll, blues, jazz, traditional and "fusion" that is so much more than a concert...it's an EVENT!!! The "band" supporting the pipers...AWESOME! The primary singer...dynamic vocal range that is a bluesy cross between MeatLoaf and John Belushi as "Jake Blues"! The snare drummer...a show by himself!

Was not what we expected, in a good way. We loved the music and energy they sent to the audience.

We will undoutedly go again when they pass thru our area.

The word "unique" is much abused these days but to describe the incredible show and music of the Red Hot Chili Pipers as unique is a perfect fit. I don't believe there is another band of bagpipers and drummers who fit right into rock. They refer to it as "Bagrock." Their event is a great mix of music and incredible demonstrations of virtuosity. I first saw them on a PBS show in New Haven. A few years later travelling in Edinburgh, Inverness and the Isle of Skye you could hear their music playing in stores and malls. Many of the selections show these pipers making amazing music and performance technique. The drummers are equally amazing surpassing anything I've ever seen before. If you are a fan of bagpipes then you will enjoy this group. If you are looking for a new and unique musical experience then the RHCP should be a must...at least one time (but I'll wager that you will want more).

The Red Hot Chili Pipers were absolutely worth seeing if you love bagpipes. The band played old and new rock hits along with classics like Amazing Grace. One of the coolest parts of the show was the band inviting a local Club of Drum and Pipers to enhance one of the songs they played. I would definitely see them again.

Full disclosure here... I am a major fan of bagpipes. But I've never heard them like this! Using their amazing musicality and charming personalities, this group had us all swaying, clapping, laughing, and generally having a fantastic time. Who could have thought that current and classic rock tunes could be played on the bagpipe!! I hope they don't mind having another 60 year old groupie...

What a great show and the audience loved it. People came from as far away as Canada, and maybe even further, which shows the appeal this group have. We've been fans since we saw them at a Highland Games in Dunoon, Scotland and they just get better. We love bagpipe music and the rock aspect is just awesome. The snare drummer was excellent and really brought the music to another level.

This was the sixth time we've seen the Pipers. It was awesome!!! Kevin, Willie and Dougie are true artist where the pipes are involved. Grant and Stephen are probably the best drummers I have ever witnessed, and I have seen many, many concerts. Allen and Michael are magical guitar players. Marko, new on keyboard, is a wonderful addition to the group after Gary's departure. And of course Diedra on vocals brings it all together for the band. I wish the brass section was touring when they played. They add so much to the show.

Thought I bought red hot chili peppers tix, when I got there what a suprise to find out it was the pippers not peppers. 7 other peeps in our section made the same mistake. Great show and performance regardless of the mixup!

This was a great time! I love bag pipe music and the artists did well to break it up with classic rock songs, as well as their own songs. Really enjoyed this concert. Only thing is... I expected some dancers as well. I thought for sure that would be provided as I saw that on their website. Oh well, overall a wonderful event to go and see. They did a terrific job.

This was my first show, and I am a fan for life. The musicians put on an amazing show, that was full of fun vibes and energy from start to finish. It also said a lot that they came out to meet the attendees. For anyone that loves rock, bagpipes, and Celtic music; they have fused this sound in what the band terms BAGROCK. You will be extremely pleased to add their music to your library!

loved the show... the pipers were amazing... to think that bagpipes would work for rock music was a surprise and the band was terrific. Will definitely follow this group and attend any concerts within driving range. The victory theater is not a " participation concert " venue... many would have been on their feet early on but there just wasn't room to stand at our seats...

The Red Hot Chili Pipers had a great show in Evansville. I was hoping for the brass section and the dancers, but the trimmed down line-up still put on a great show. Fun and energetic, they had the crowd from the very beginning. A great selection of music including "Everybody Dance Now", "Fat Bottom Girls", Don't Stop Believing". They made it a personal show by talking to the crowd and taking the time to sign and take pictures after the show. Overall a lot of fun and I would go see them again. I recommend anyone who has an interest in some fun fusion of music to check these guys out! Only reason I gave 4 stars was just the trimmed down line-up. I was expecting the full show from seeing their vids and such on youtube.

Many people like me were duped by the name into buying tickets, thinking we were seeing a much more famous band. But I am so happy I went! I had more fun seeing bagpipe rock and roll than I have at most concerts. They are all excellent musicians and they have a great stage presence. By the end everyone in the audience was dancing and cheering. The trio of drummers kept it lively and I especially liked the dueling drummers. I have never seen anything quite like it but I will certainly see them again and highly recommend their show.

I stupidly bought tickets to their show thinking I was seeing the Red Hot Chili Peppers. However, it was the PIPERS. After the 3 minutes I spent laughing at my inability to read well, I enjoyed the show!! IT WAS AWESOME! SEE THEM! They are spectacular and while I initially thought I was seeing something else, I was pleasantly surprised. Money well spent. Life is full of unexpected amazing things.

My husband and I (who are bagpipe fans) were gifted these tickets and went having never seen the band before. We were blown away by there talent, enthusiasm and showmanship. The only thing I could complain about was the sound engineering. I can only assume the person in the booth isn't used to bagpipes because there were several times when the pipes were overwhelmed by everything else.
