THE AMERICAN ROGUES

We've been invited to return to Scotland to perform at two of the most prestigious Celtic events in the world -- the Crieff and Cowal Highland Gatherings. In 2019 we were the first international act to perform at Cowal's "Gig at the Gathering". Looking forward to seeing all of our friends at the Station Pub! Photo courtesy of Ken Clark.

Having been invited to perform 10 years in a row we're very pleased that our love of the World Music Festival in Sherbrooke, Quebec is stronger than ever.  We're already looking forward to returning next year.  Merci, chers amis!

Our video for The Boondock Saints Theme (Blood of Cú Chulainn) just placed #12 in the world for the month of Februrary on Ethnocloud.  Thanks for all of the support -- please keep spreading the word!  Ethno Cloud World Chart

Robbie Burns -- the National Poet of Scotland and the man voted "The Greatest Scot" of all time. If you're looking to celebrate his birthday check this out: the Barra MacNeils, the American Rogues, haggis, and much more! Thanks to our good friend, Steve Tweedie, Director of the Moncton Highland Games. By the way 2021 marks our 3rd invitation to play the Moncton Highland Games!

We're very pleased to announce that we will once again be working with the Scottish Society of Ottawa to help them present their New Year's Eve celebration, "HOGMAN-EH!"  In the past we have performed at Ottawa's prestigious Aberdeen Pavilion -- this year's event will be online and will include performances from a number of fantastic artists, including Canadian music legend, Colin James.  There is even going to be a special message from the Prime Minister!  

We are so humbled to have worked once again with our friends in the Navy SEAL community at their 34th annual Muster in Ft. Pierce, Florida.  In addition to performing at their Ash Swim-Out Memorial Service, on the deck of a Mk V Special Operations Craft, and at Admirals Cove Golf Club we lead a parade onto the demonstration field where we provided the music for a memorial service honouring Allied heroes on the 75th anniversary of D-Day (pictured below).

While headlining the Ohio Scottish Festival (where we now have a standing invitation to appear for as long as we want) we met up with our dear friends from the Crieff Highland Gathering in Scotland, which we played in 2018.  We're very honoured to announce that they have invited us to perform again at their 150th anniversary in 2020.  We can't wait to see all of our friends at the festival and at the Station Pub!

We're very pleased to announce that our show at the Harbourfront Centre Theatre in Toronto with world-renowned Japanese group, Nagata Shachu, was a rousing success -- we had a sold out crowd and a standing ovation.  Look for more hybrid shows with them under the name "The Dragon & the Rising Sun".  

We've just been asked to perform at the Scotiabank Arena, home of the Toronto Maple Leafs, for the unveiling of their 2019 St. Patrick's Day sweaters!

We are very delighted to announce that 2019 will see us begin performing with world-renowned Japanese taiko group, Nagata Shachu.  Several members of our band have long been interested in taiko, and some have even studied it, and we've performed in Japan, but this will be the first time we will be fusing Celtic and Japanese culture on stage. Our first show will be on June 8 at the prestigious Harbourfront Centre in Toronto and we're all hoping it will lead to more shows in the future.  Don't miss this one!  TICKETS
