Zac Leger has been touring and playing music professionally for over a decade. He holds numerous medals on various instruments from both the U.S. and Ireland, including an All-Ireland piping medal, one of few Americans to hold this prestigious title. He has recorded on over a two dozen albums and has played, recorded and performed with the likes of The Border Collies, John Doyle (ex-Solas), Mike Dugger, Glen Road, Liz Carroll, Rathkeltair, cittern player Joseph Sobol, Oisre (of which he was a founding member), fiddler Charlene Adzima, accordionist John Whelan and world-renowned finger-style guitarist Al Petteway to name a few. In 2005, he spent 8 months traveling under a program bringing traditional music to schools all across the country. In 2007 he was the principle uilleann piper in the Irish dance show "Emerald Beat", based at Busch Gardens theme parks and in 2011 and 2012 he was the musical director for "Ireland: The Show" which premiered in Santa Barbara and New York. He was a member of the critically acclaimed Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul as well as the Irish-based show "Celtic Crossroads". He is currently the touring accompanist for Scottish fiddler Jamie Laval and often joins young Canadian prodigies, Qristina and Quinn Bachand, on pipes and woodwinds. As a performer, Zac brings a deep respect for the tradition, coupled with an intuitive grasp of melodic structure on the Irish pipes, wooden flute, whistles, tenor banjo and mandolin. As an accompanist on guitar and bouzouki, he provides innovative rhythmic, counter-point and harmonic lines which add energy and pulse to dance tunes, coupled with tasteful finger-style playing that breathes new life into his singing of traditional songs. He has toured all over the U.S, Canada and Ireland and currently resides in Los Angeles where he teaches music, records and plays both freelance and in numerous bands including Indie Rock/Jazz/Trad fusion band The Brilliant Gypsies.
