Leahy March 10, 2009

DeWitt Series Performance.

Leahy is a Canadian powerhouse of eight musical brothers and sisters who have been playing together their entire lives. 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. Leahy continues to expand their focus, while never losing the essence of their unique and irresistible style.
World-wide sales of the band’s three acclaimed CDs total over 500,000 copies. After bringing 175 audiences to their feet when they opened for popstar Shania Twain on her inaugural world tour, the family continues to move forward as musicians and performers. In 2007, they released their fi rst-ever live DVD and CD and are set to release their second DVD and live CD in 2008. Leahy has also excited PBS audiences with three television specials. Leahy’s genuine love of such a diverse range of music fuels their uncompromising creativity. By refusing to be bound to the conventions of any one genre, they have
forged a sound that can honestly be called unique. Pure and authentic, Leahy continues to be one of Canada’s most sought after exports.
