If you came of age in the late 1970s and 1980s, the music of Foreigner and Journey was the soundtrack of your life. With ballads and anthems, songs like Foreigner’s “I Don’t Want to Live Without You,” “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” and “I Want to Know What Love Is,” and Journey’s “Who’s Crying Now,” “Open Arms,” and “Don’t Stop Believing,’” are etched into our collective memories. They also made the groups two of the most successful bands of their era.

The Pentagon in Washington, D.C. isn’t your usual concert venue, but then the High Kings are not your ordinary band. The Irish folk group, whose debut album reached No. 2 on the world Billboard Music Chart, was invited to the Pentagon in 2015 by then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin Dempsey. They performed alongside the Marine Corps Band. This was not the King’s first trip to Washington. In 2012, they were invited by President Barack Obama to perform at the White House St. Patrick’s Day celebration. They flew in directly from London, where they had headlined the Lord Mayor of London’s St. Patrick’s Day events.
