Description

Leahy(lay-hee) noun, verb, adjective. A family. A musical group of brothers and sisters, a sound, a style of music, a way of life, a volcanic explosion of talent and energy, intense emotion and feral passion. Leahy is a Canadian powerhouse of eight musical brothers and sisters who mystify audiences with a whirlwind of fiddle-driven music, fiery step-dancing and harmonious vocals. Leahy?s music combines the influence of their Irish and Scottish roots with their inherent desire to widely travel the musical map. On their recent American tour, new audiences learned that this family of instrumentalists, singers, and dancers brings a rare level of originality and musicianship to the stage. This originality includes music that Leahy writes, arranges, and produces. Known for their unique blend of musical styles and genres, their repertoire is more distinct than ever. The band?s three acclaimed CDs?Leahy, Lakefield and In All Things?have world-wide sales of over half a million copies. The family continues to move forward as musicians and performers. Winter 2007 saw them release their first ever live DVD and CD. PBS audiences are currently watching Leahy?s third television special. They are also in the midst of working on their second DVD and live CD, which are to be released in 2008.
