Tracy Jenkins is a Border- and Scottish smallpiper based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Originally from Northern Virginia, he played the Highland pipes at McLean High School and in the Washington Scottish Pipe Band before focusing on the Border pipes and the Scottish smallpipes, along with whistle, banjo, and song. Tracy has performed throughout the eastern U.S. in recent years with the Seán Heely Celtic Band, the Reel Sisters, and other friends. An active member of Knoxville’s Scottish and Irish session communities, he bridges multiple traditions. Tracy’s approach to traditional music involves a blend of deep dives into traditional tunes, original compositions, and fresh takes on old favorites.

BENJAMIN JABER has been obsessed with Irish Traditional Music since his early teens, after being introduced to recordings of the great master uilleann pipers.

He is completely self-taught on the uilleann pipes, wooden flute and tin whistle, and has been making a name for himself as a piper in recent years over several visits to Ireland.  

In his ‘normal’ life, Mr. Jaber is also an accomplished and successful French horn player, and has been Principal Horn of the San Diego Symphony Orchestra since 2008.  

He remains active in the recording studios of Los Angeles with many film and TV projects to his credit.
