Hello Reigniacs!
It is with a very grateful and heavy heart that we are announcing, 2025 was the last year for Highland Reign. It has been one hell of a ride. Thank you to the pubs, venues and festivals, especially our homebase Nine Irish Brothers, for having us over the years. 26 years ago, this band started around a campfire at a historical reenactment and blossomed into one of America’s favorite Scots American bands! We have played many venues from Colorado, Montana, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, Florida, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Missouri, Ireland and my beautiful bonnie Scotland! Our awesome fans from across the USA, UK, Ireland, Europe and Australia have just been unbelievable! We are so humbled by you buying our cds, shirts and support thru this wonderful musical journey. We feel very lucky to have the best celtic fans in the world. We have watched some of you become friends, some who have dated and then married, some who have divorced (Haha!), some who have families where we watched your kids grow and have their own kids, and some who have passed on. You have all brightened our lives. We as musicians have missed many family birthdays, gatherings, weddings and funerals because of performance schedules. So, it is now our families’ turn to have our focus, but we will always have the memories of one of the best times of our lives. We just hope we have made you smile and forget the grind of life for a couple of hours while we have performed for you! Hopefully we can see everyone this year as we still have many dates throughout the year. Thanks to our current members, Patrick Norris and Sarah Yingst for the dedication to Highland Reign. We would also like to thank past members, Brian McClure, Matt Hill, Nathan Davis, Johnandrew Bellner, Stuart Bellner, Myron Walker and the Original members, Chris Lindsay and Buzz Hollett. Especially thanks to our family during our travels, late nights, and missing weekends at home! It’s been a long road we appreciate you all so much!
Slàinte Mhath!

"It was a warm and wonderful night and people were so moved by the quality of the writing and music that a group of the more rock 'n' roll members of Dove Tales stayed on for the band, Highland Reign. A rock version of The Twa Corbies? Truly a night to remember. They are a band who descend every couple of years on the Scotia Bar from their home in Indianapolis, bringing bus loads of followers with them. They rock to Border ballads and traditional Scottish songs. They rock!
-Dove Tales, Scotia Bar-Glasgow Scotland
“We certainly got a lot of positive compliments about the band, Highland Reign, That’s no surprise, because they’re internationally recognized. We certainly selected the right band and they played nonstop."
-St. Genevieve Scottish Days, St. Genevieve MO
Highland Reign is the type of act we have been trying to bring to our Celtic Sunday Series since our event began three years ago. They are a total entertainment package! Great musicians, seasoned performers and best of all, one of the most fun groups any audience could ever hope for. West Michigan got "reigned on," and a whole new crop of Highland Reign fans have begun to sprout!"
–Bill Lynch, Celtic Sunday Series, Ionia MI
"A quite astonishing outfit, these e lads are superb musicians!"
