Steve Johnson of Ada is ready to make your St. Patrick’s Day celebration one to remember.

He is scheduling appearances for the St. Patrick’s weekend – this year’s St. P. Day falls on Monday, March 17 – and will perform on the bagpipes.

Johnson has been bagpipping for about four years.

“I started out as a drummer of the bagpipe band at the University of Notre Dame,” he told The Icon. “Then, later I became a piper for the band.”

He’ll perform in an authentic sold saffron color quilt. That’s because he’s of Irish descent and the traditional Irish kilt is actually a solid color rather than the tartan kilts of Scotland.

Contact Johnson at [email protected], find him on Facebook at Johnson Bagpipes, or call (330) 268-2074 for additional information on how you can add Irish music to your festivities.

Johnson will make a special Bluffton appearance at the Friday, March 14, Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce breakfast. For more information contact [email protected]
