Steve Foley was born in Glasgow, Scotland and immigrated to California in 1976. He began his pipe band career at the age of nine as a tenor drummer and started bass drumming at fifteen. Steve has played in such bands as the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band, Los Angeles Scots Pipe Band, and the Prince Charles Pipe Band.

Steve feels fortunate and honored to have accomplished the following awards, both as an individual and as a band member: Grade 1 World Bass Drumming Champion (1999); Grade 2 World Pipe Band Champion (1997); Grade 2 World Bass Drumming Champion (1997); and three MHAF Winter Storm Gold Medals.

Outside of the pipe band world, Steve is a Fire Captain/Paramedic and happily married to former two-time World Champion Highland Dancer, Natalie Anne Hall. Steve is the proud father of three children: Connor, Brennan, and Tess. Brennan is a piper competing in solos and a member of the Grade 2 Los Angeles Scots Pipe Band. Tess is a Premier Highland Dancer. Both have followed in their parent’s Dancing and Pipe Band footsteps. Steve and his family live in Orange County, California.
