Few groups reflect the importance and strength of family and togetherness
better than the Leahy family. Based out of a farm near Peterborough, Ontario,
these 9 brothers and sisters started out performing at rural fairs and
fiddle championships. Little did they suspect to high step over their traditional
Celtic roots to become Canadian pop sensations. Now Leahy performs and
wows audiences around the world....from New York to Paris, Nashville, and
Las Vegas. Their distinctly Canadian music is a uniquely contemporary blend
of Canadian folk music, French Canadian step dancing, and the Celtic-based
pop music of Ireland and Scotland currently enjoying worldwide popularity.
With the success of "Riverdance" and "Lord of the Dance", the Celtic revival
is booming. Leahy's current album "The Call to Dance" is enjoying unprecedented
sales in Canada and the USA. The group is in demand everywhere. Leahy recently
won two JUNO Awards, one for "Best New Group" and the other for "Instrumental
Artists of the Year". Currently the group is on tour with Shania Twain.
The family was the subject of the Academy Award winning documentary "Music
Most of All". Most of the members play multiple instruments and they all
play the fiddle. Leahy will play, sing, and step dance their way into your
hearts.
