Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara will honor Ally Crowley-Duncan, also known as Ally the Piper, with a prestigious NYS Assembly Citation in recognition of her outstanding contributions to music and her national tour.

Ally, a TikTok sensation hailing from Schenectady, gained fame for her unique bagpipe performances that blend diverse music styles. Her viral video during the COVID-19 pandemic garnered over 150,000 views, propelling her to amass a massive following of over 1 million on TikTok.

At 27, Ally is embarking on her national tour, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," alongside electric violinist Mia Asano, with the first stop at the Egg in Albany, New York.

Assemblyman Santabarbara acknowledges Ally's commitment to redefining the bagpipes beyond traditional contexts, aiming to bring a fresh perspective to this unconventional instrument.
