If the 78th Fraser Pipe Band sat down with the Waterboys, the Chieftains, Wolfstone, and the Dave Matthews Band, and then asked some friends from a symphonic orchestra to join them at the table the resulting sound might resemble the the AMERICAN ROGUES. For years the performances of this American/Canadian group have electrified audiences on three continents. They have added to their ever-growing family of fans -- affectionately known as the Rogue Army -- at music festivals, theaters, Highland Games, military bases, renaissance festivals, clubs, pubs, and corporate events -- anywhere that presents top-quality, high-energy music. This has even included airplay on TV and radio and shows at non-Celtic venues. Their hard won road successes have established them as artists with bona fide international acclaim.

The AMERICAN ROGUES have also been invited to perform with the United States Air Force Symphony Orchestra at Constitution Hall Washington, D.C.,, the venue where U2, Frank Sinatra, and Earth, Wind, and Fire have performed. Performing before a large audience the band impressed long-time fans and newcomers alike. The success of this concert has inspired the AMERICAN ROGUES to take the musical scores they had professionally arranged for the Air Force show and perform with symphonies around the world. The world class musicianship and talent that the band brought to the Air Force show has always been a hallmark of the AMERICAN ROGUES and the group is comprised of musicians with multiple gold medals from the World Pipe Band Championships held in Scotland each year.

The AMERICAN ROGUES continue to show their support of the military. The AMERICAN ROGUE family includes former members of the Army, the Marines, the Air Force, the Military Police, and the Navy. They have raised thousands of dollars for individual veterans, the National Navy SEAL Museum, the U.S. Air Force Aid Society, Wounded Warrior, and Operation Ward 57, the amputee ward at Walter Reed National Medical Centre. To this end in frontman, Nelson Stewart, originated an ongoing series of military fundraisers, including DEAKSTOCK, which Nelson conceived to help a close friend who is a Veteran. The American Rogues have performed for the troops in Italy, Spain, Japan, and Guam and they regularly volunteer to perform for WWII Vets at Honor Flights in Washington, D.C.
