FOUR-PART HARMONY WITH PUB ANTHEM ENERGY
The High Kings
Sunday, February 21, 2027 | 7:30 PM
Browning Center at WSU
Tickets start at $17
When The High Kings take the stage in Ogden, you get a room that turns into a sing-along before the first song ends. By the encore, strangers are leaning over and singing “The Parting Glass” to each other. That’s the night.
Four voices with a stack of ballads and pub anthems, accompanied by:
- Guitar
- Banjo
- Bodhrán
- Mandolin
- Bouzouki
- Accordion
- Whistles
Finbarr Clancy, Brian Dunphy, Darren Holden, and Paul O’Brien carry forward the tradition of Ireland’s great ballad groups. Finbarr is the son of Bobby Clancy, and that lineage is right there on the stage every night.
The songs you’d expect are all in the set, including:
- "The Rocky Road to Dublin"
- "The Fields of Athenry"
- "Whiskey in the Jar"
- "Wild Rover"
- "Red Is the Rose"
- "The Parting Glass"
Their self-titled debut hit #2 on Billboard’s World Music chart and stayed there for 36 weeks. PBS specials like "Live On The Bridge" and "On Tour" helped build a deep American following. The Sunday World calls them the "Most Successful Irish Folk Band Worldwide."
Late February is the prelude to St. Patrick’s season, so move early if you want the good seats.
