Taxi Chain

Taxi Chain is a Toronto-based roots rock Celtic funk band founded in 1993 by renowned piper and songwriter Grier Coppins (formerly of Rare Air).

They have recorded 5 albums over a 30 years span. Grier Coppins – vocals, bagpipes, tin whistles, tenor guitar. Chris Staig – guitars, vocals. Jim Bish – saxophones, flute, harmonica, vocals.
