About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

In the tradition of the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, the High Kings deliver classic Irish folk songs with a modern twist, adding sparkling rhythms and intricate harmonies. The quartet's self-titled debut offers a range of moods, from the rousing "Rocky Road to Dublin" to the haunting "The Parting Glass" and the cheerful "The Wild Rover." Their PBS special aired in March 2008. Barnes & Noble

Outstanding Irish Folk Musicby JimBJr

May 15, 2009: These guys are really outstanding. Their voices are so beautifully balanced that at times you'll swear you're listening to more than four voices. "The Auld Triangle" is an example of a song who's lyrics I don't relate to or much care for, but the A Cappella is so amazing that I can't help but listen to it over and over. If you're looking for a modern yet refined take on traditional Irish folk music that's performed brilliantly, you won't do any better than this.

March 27, 2008: Even if you've never experienced this genre of music, you will surely appreciate the talents and vocal excellence of The High Kings. My tastes normally run from R&B to singer-songwriter to alternative rock. What a world of music these artists have opened up for this American and I hope for you, as well. Long live The High Kings of Ireland!
