AboutThe High Kings are an Irish ballad group. They were formed by the same creators as the Celtic Woman phenomenon. Finbarr Clancy (son of Bobby Clancy), Brian Dunphy (son of Sean Dunphy, who represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest 1967), Martin Furey (son of Finbar Furey of the Fureys) and Broadway/pop/country star Darren Holden make up the group. They recently were featured on PBS during their fund drive special[1].
The High Kings just recently took a 30 day tour of the United States, [March 2011] stopping in Chicago, Albany, New Haven, Philadelphia and Atlanta to promote their new release of "Memory Lane" in the United States. Their live performances included "Step it Out Mary", "Black Velvet Band" and "The Ballad of Joe Hill."
Darren Holden previously starred as The Pianoman (Billy Joel) in the Broadway musical blockbuster "Movin' Out". He was cast for the role by Joel himself.[citation needed] Holden originated the role for the US National tour which ran from Jan 2004-Jan 2007 and tours of Canada and Japan in 2006.
