On Friday and Saturday, the troupe will host 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. performances at The Red Dog Saloon.

Ingman plays the bagpipes, specifically the Uilleann pipes, which connects with his Irish heritage, according to UAS. Ingman plans to use the $7,500 award to advance his knowledge and performance by studying with a champion piper and traveling to piper gatherings.
“I was really shocked and surprised when I got the call saying I had won an award,” Ingman said in a release. “This is a truly life changing event and I can’t thank the Rasmuson Foundation enough. It is fantastic how they support the arts in Alaska, and I am grateful to be part of that.”
