Skip Cleavinger

Uilleann Pipes, Highland Pipes, & Tin Whistle

Skip Cleavinger started playing the Highland pipes over 30 years ago while in junior high school. After about 25 years of competing in individual and pipe band competitions and focusing primarily on a traditional Highland bagpipe repertoire, Skip began to develop an interest in traditional Irish music. He began playing the tin whistle and eventually obtained a set of Irish or "uilleann" pipes. Skip is active in the Nashville recording industry, and he tours several weeks each year with Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant. Skip was also the piper in the group, Ceili Rain, for many years. His music is eloquent and beautiful.

Celtic Christmas Music

Celtic Christmas projects are quite popular and very beautiful to hear. Quite a few Celtic performers who don't normally produce Christian projects will do a noteworthy Christmas project. Celtic Christmas music is one of my favorite types of music to enjoy.
