Eric Rigler (uilleann pipes, highland bagpipes, high and low whistles) and Dirk Freymuth (acoustic & electric guitars, bouzouki, electric bass, keyboards) team-up to create a soundscape of Celtic spirit and energy. Drawing from haunting Irish airs, blazing jigs & reels, and melodic Celtic themes the album ebbs and flows with a groove-based feel accompanied by Wanda Law on Irish fiddle & viola and Jimi Englund on percussion. Both incredibly gifted musicians with long careers filled with musical diversity, adventure, creativity and a bit of fame, Eric and Dirk collaborate here for the first time and have developed a live show based on these first recordings. Eric Rigler's legendary 40-year career on the bagpipes is world-famous. From performing "Amazing Grace" at PRESIDENT REAGAN'S funeral to hundreds of appearances, films and recordings such as BRAVEHEART, TITANIC, MEN IN BLACK 3, CINDERELLA MAN, AUSTIN POWERS to CD's for PHIL COLLINS, JOSH GROBAN, FAITH HILL, KEITH URBAN, ROD STEWART to TV's OUTLANDER, ONCE UPON A TIME, BLACK SAILS, THE TONIGHT SHOW with JAY LENO, JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, CROSSING JORDAN, THE SIMPSONS, and SOUTH PARK, Eric has been called "the most recorded piper in history". Dirk Freymuth’s gifted and diverse talent on the guitar spans genres from being a member of the Minneapolis power-pop trio, HINDU RODEO, to Dublin’s BAROQUE ORCHESTRA OF IRELAND. As a studio player he has recorded for the KOTTONMOUTH KINGS, THE PROCLAIMERS, JOHN GORKA and many others. Earning music degrees from the University of Southern California, Dirk has produced more than fifty albums in a wide variety of styles, most notably Classical and Celtic, where he first collaborated with Eric Rigler.
