Leahy

A volcanic explosion of talent and energy, intense emotion, and feral passion, Leahy is a powerhouse of eight musical brothers and sisters who bring a rare level of originality and musicianship to the stage. One of Canada's most sought after exports, this family of instrumentalists, singers, and dancers has won Junos for Best New Group, Best Country Group, and Best Instrumental Album and the Socan award for Folk/Jazz instrumentalist. Their self-titled album rose to number four on the Billboard world music charts. Their life story became the subject of an Oscar-winning documentary, The Leahys: Music Most of All. On stage Leahy brought 175 audiences to their feet when they opened for Shania Twain on her inaugural world tour.
