Coreyanne Armstrong, bagpipes

Coreyanne Armstrong grew up on other instruments, playing the classical piano and flute since ages 4 and 10, respectively. After time spent in the military, Coreyanne took up the bagpipes and has been a member of the Award winning Celtic bend, The Rogues, with whom she tours the southeast, since 1994. The Rogues can be seen every year at the VA and MD Renaissance Festivals as well as Scottish Festivals across the country. She was the resident bagpiper with Hawaii's premier Celtic band, the Doolin Rakes, and a guest artist with several other Celtic bands on the Highland Pipes, Walsh Shuttle Pipes, and Irish whistle. Coreyanne also plays with her bagpipe rock group, Pipe Dream. Coreyanne has travelled extensively with the military, allowing her to be a member of bands in Monterey, CA, Hawaii, the United Kingdom, and Charleston, SC, and has attended two World Pipe Band Championships. She was most recently with the Rhode Island Highlanders and was honored to perform with them on stage with The Piano Guys in Providence. As a Grade 2 piper in the EUSPBA, she helped to lead the Talcott Mountain Highlanders in CT. She has played with various ensembles at Renaissance Faires from Texas to Maine, including resident piper most weekends for King Richard's Faire in Carver, MA, and at the NJ Ren Faire. On January 1, 2024, she marched with Pipes on Parade in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, CA. Each March she can be found all over New England, accompanied by tracks or bands in pubs, playing for Irish or Highland dancers, or atop a Guinness double-decker bus in NYC or Boston.

Rachel Clemente, harp

New England based pedal and traditional Scottish harpist, Rachel Clemente, has had a passion for music from the early age of five. She began her harp training as a student of the Suzuki method and is now a certified Suzuki teacher and avid supporter of the methodology.

She is a graduate of renowned arts boarding high school Interlochen Arts Academy and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow where she obtained a bachelors degree in traditional Scottish music. Her accolades include winner of the U.S National Scottish Harp Championship in 2016 and winner of the Princess Margaret of the Isles Clàrsach Competition (USA) in 2021.

Since moving to Vermont in 2019, Rachel has focused on establishing herself in the New England folk scene as a soloist as well as performing in her duo, If You Must Know, with bagpiper Dan Houghton. She works to provide access to the lever harp and traditional Scottish music through her harp building program, Hands on Harps, and by offering lessons, classes, and workshops throughout New England.

Currently, Rachel is recording her debut solo album which features much of her instrumental compositional work which is heavily influenced by traditional Scottish and Gaelic melodies.
