The Rogues are very excited to welcome Jeremy Freeman to our group. He began his piping career at age 9 at the acclaimed St. Thomas Episcopal School in Houston under the tutelage of world renowned Gold Medalist Mike Cusack.

Jeremy, an open class piper, has won numerous and prestigious solo piping competitions in Scotland and the U.S, including taking 2nd place in the Silver Medal at the Northern Meeting at Inverness, a very significant achievement. He attended Lyon College on a full piping scholarship, and earned a B.A. in English and philosophy. He went on to obtain a Masters of Arts and Religion from Yale University. When a teaching position opened up at his Alma Mater, St. Thomas, Jeremy couldn't pass up the chance to work with Mike Cusack and the four-time Juvenile World Champion St. Thomas Pipe Band. He is currently in his fourth year as as a piping instructor there. Besides being a fantastic player, he is an all around nice guy. He and his lovely wife, Lauren, also an instructor at St. Thomas, like to hike and spend time outdoors whenever they can.

E.J. Jones, Nelson Stewart and Randy Wothke invite you to come out to McHenry's Pub in Ft. Worth on Friday, January 28 and to McGonigel's Mucky Duck Pub on Saturday, January 29th to meet Jeremy and to hear some new music from their upcoming new album.
