We are the Shannon Rovers Irish Bagpipe Band. For over 75 years, the Rovers have been a cultural fixture in the Chicagoland area. From parades to politics, weddings to funerals, generation to generation, the Shannon Rovers have been there through it all, bringing the passion of Irish music with them. One of the Shannon Rovers'' proudest traditions has been leading Chicago''s St. Patrick''s Day Parade. Beginning with the crowning of the St. Patrick''s Day Queen in February through the month of March, the Rovers play over 125 events. However, nothing compares to stepping off to lead the Parade. More than 500 individuals have played the pipes and drums as Shannon Rovers over the years. Today, the band is made up of seventy plus pipers, drummers and color guard. Membership has passed from generation to generation and includes plumbers, social workers, bankers, lawyers, electricians, doctors and celebrities to name but a few. It''s a mix of people who enjoy each other''s company and genuinely work hard at putting together the best performance possible. For most, the band has become an extended family with friendships that have endured for decades. The common thread that seems to hold it all together is the genuine love of traditional Irish music.
