Riley and Aiden Foster Evans

Sixteen-year-old Riley and fourteen-year-old Aiden were inspired to play the pipes in 2005 when they heard a storyteller's tale of how she came to play the instrument. The boys began studying and working hard and were soon awarded scholarships to attend the West Coast Piping School.

Riley and Aiden have been playing with the Central Coast Pipes and Drums for the last five years and in 2010 were invited to become members of the Bushmills Irish Pipe Band in San Francisco. The boys have pursued their own goals as bagpipers in individual competitions at Scottish Festivals throughout the state.

Besides football for Riley and basketball for Aiden, along with a full school schedule, the boys stay busy piping locally for official city functions, benefit performances, weddings, funerals, and folk music sessions.
