“Shout out in Omaha!”
“Omaha! That was outstanding tonight. You guys were way too great to us.
Loved being back on the Orpheum stage in a completely different way from last time. What a stunningly beautiful theatre. One of America's finest. We are buzzing after that reaction to the show.
Thanks for being there for us!
See you next time.”

Hands down, one of 'The' shows I'll always remember. My ears will be ringing for weeks. Thanks for being there for us.
And....we get to do it all over again tomorrow night!”

Beacon
“Very cool place. Beacon NY.”
“Beacon NY. What can I say after that? That show has pretty much everything. Sold out. Amazing audience. A totally spontaneous and fun set list....New York State of Mind was a necessity right?👌The boys that came up to the stage to sing "Leaving of Liverpool"...that was superb.
You guys were totally brilliant tonight and the 3 of us are so grateful once again that you all had such a great time. Thank you all so much.
Onwards to Pennsylvania.”

Goodnight Irene live from Towne Crier in Beacon NY!
Pennsylvania
"Sellersville Theatre Pennsylvania, I honestly don't think we have ever had as much fun onstage as we did tonight. 2 sold out shows back to back to fantastic audiences and way too many highlights and laughs.
However, tonight's Elvis bit took on a life of its own from Brian's coaxing and "The Leaving of Liverpool" will never be the same.
Please tell us somebody got that on video?
Huge thanks to you all for a very special night in your fine town.
Now for one night....Well we're living here in Allentown." #billy
Well someone did!
Thanks to Zach Headley for recording it and allowing us to share it with you.

“Thanks to a wonderful sold out audience at Infinity Hall, Norfolk CT tonight. That was such fun! Comedy Central. What a huge noise you all made! Always a pleasure to sing for you.
Onwards to the final USA tour date this year. Another sold out show at the legendary Somerville Theatre in Boston. Our third year playing this fantastic venue. We plan on making this one the loudest yet, and that's saying something!
Thanks once again from the 3 of us for all your incredible support this summer.”
Boston
“Load in to the legendary Somerville Theatre in Boston for tonight's final High Kings concert in the USA this year.”
“The greatest night of the year for THK. That level of noise is unprecedented for us to walk out to in Boston. As long as I live I will never be able to thank you all for that reaction to "Town I loved so well". A very special moment. I will tell my kids about that. We are so blown away and grateful for the incredible comments about the sound the 3 of us make. It really means so much. To hear you all sing at the top of your lungs for 2 hours....unreal.
Finally, thanks so much to 2 of Bostons finest, Officers Paul and Bob for playing the bagpipes on The Parting Glass. A very poignant moment.
Thanks USA.”
