The Red Hot Chili Pipers brought their “bagrock” style to Emporia’s Granada Theatre on Friday night.
The band formed 20 years ago and won the BBC talent show “When Will I Be Famous” five years later to gain international attention.
The Pipers perform a blend of traditional music and pop and rock covers with a trio of pipers, along with guitar, keyboard, bass and drums. The band now has seven studio albums and two live albums to its credit.
Up next for the Pipers is a show in Wilmington, Ohio, on Saturday. Ahead for the Granada is Big Head Todd & The Monsters on Oct. 8, followed by Josh Gracin on Veterans Day for Emporia’s annual All Veterans Tribute concert.
