Highland Skye

Our Story:
We are a collaboration of musicians coming from all backgrounds and genres of music. This 6-piece band started out as a simple acoustic trio. From the beginning, their vocal strength and expanding song list was a defining strength. They soon realized they would require more instrumentation and the idea of bringing a full size band to their performance emerged. Over a short period of time, 3 more musicians came together and Highland Skye was born. Now with 4 lead vocalists the scope of music they could cover was almost unlimited. Their song list runs the gamut from Lady Gaga and The Dixie Chicks to Bonnie Raitt, David Bowie and The Cranberries!
The Band:

He was recognized by Current magazine in 1989 as Male Vocalist and Guitarist of the year and has been featured on the cover of Gig Magazine. He is also a recording artist, composer and producer.
