About The High Kings
Consisting of Finbarr Clancy, Brian Dunphy, Darren Holden and recently George Murphy, The High Kings each have a wealth of history in the music business before the group even came to fruition. Thankfully, this was an advantage. The foursome knew they needed to go boldly and redefine Irish ballads.
Plus, all ages rock-out with this band. The High Kings are known for “carrying along with them the steadfast older fans while simultaneously bringing it to a new audience.”
Some of The High Kings most notable albums
- The High Kings: Classified as their self-titled debut album, the record was released in 2008 and reached number two on Billboard’s world music charts. Much of their success actually stems from their 2011 U.S. tour, though.
- Friend for Life: Released in 2013, the album features original songs by the band members and introduced some new sounds.
- Grace & Glory: Debuting in 2011, the album goes back to the essentials that kick-started their career.
- Decade: Best of The High Kings: Celebrating their 10th anniversary, this 2017 album received rave reviews and record sales, topping the Irish album charts and returning to the Billboard’s world music charts.
