Pipe Major Joseph Morrison

I am Pipe Major Joseph Morrison, Birmingham Bagpiper, Professional Bagpiper serving Birmingham and the rest of Alabama. I have been performing throughout the Southeast for nearly three decades. I am a member of CLASP and Overall Grade 2 League Winner of the 2022/23 competition season. I am an officer of the St Andrew's Society of the Middle South, Pipe Major of the Ian Sturrock Memorial Pipe Band, and a member of the Scottish American Military Society.

I am under the mentorship of Douglas Murray of Fife, Scotland, himself a student of the legendary Donald MacPherson, the greatest piper of the 20th century. Dougie is the former Pipe Major of the top-six grade 1 pipe band Fife Constabulary, the winner of many prestigious solo awards, and a well-known reedmaker. As Dougie's student, I am learning Piobaireachd, the classical music of the bagpipe, in the style of Donald MacPherson as well as receiving tutelage in ceòl aotram, or "light music."
