“Showcasing a new direction with a heavily pop-influenced sound,” uber-creative and fun-loving piper Ross Miller of Linlithgow, Scotland, has released a new single with an accompanying video, the latest in his series of bringing high-quality Highland piping to the masses.
Miller’s got a group of crack musicians accompanying him in Charlie Stewart (fiddle), Rory Matheson (piano), Ross Saunders (bass guitar) and Rory Grindlay (drums) to “effortlessly intertwine top quality tune playing with an exciting rhythm section. The fresh compositions are traditional in essence but have glimpses of modernity and flair throughout to keep the listener engaged,” Miller said.
Miller said that “The Dedication Jigs” are tunes he composed that are dedicated to people and places. “Newly Wed at Newhall” was composed to mark piper Calum Watson’s wedding and “Murray & Jacqui Ross of Torri Dhu” was created as a Christmas gift for friends.
