For years the members of the Leahy family have played, danced and shared their music throughout the world. They have gained critical acclaim and accolades for their musicality, talent and performance.
The Leahys will perform at the Cugnet Centre on Sunday, May 1, as the final 2015-2016 featured concert for the Weyburn Concert Series.
In a new grouping, the Leahys are delving further into their love of singing and song-writing. They draw from their individual interests and influences in music, and blend not just their voices, but their stories, instruments, musical styles, and harmonies.
Several members of the group are part of Leahy, well-known and established performance artists on the Canadian music scene, concentrating on instrumental, celtic, traditional and roots music.
Their combined creativity results in richly layered melodies, lyrics and music. Audiences can expect solid and energetic performances along with their trade-mark stand-out musicianship. As one might expect, their songs are distinct and identifiable, their presentation uplifting and full of life.

All that audiences need to do to understand the style that has come to be known as “Leahy” is look at their awards: Junos for Best New Group, Best Country Group, and Best Instrumental Album, the most played folk/roots song in Canada in 2004 and the Socan award for Folk/Jazz instrumentalist the following year.
Something intense and electric happens when Leahys get together. Audiences can expect solid and energetic performances along with their trade-mark stand-out musicianship. As one might expect, their songs are distinct and identifiable, their presentation uplifting and full of life.
