The Next Generation Leahy, a young family of high-energy musicians from Ontario, only came together 18 months ago, but already they’ve performed with such big names as The Chieftains and The Tenors.
And this time last year, they toured with their aunt and uncle Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy, two of Canada’s most renowned fiddlers.
The six Leahy children who comprise the band, ranging in age from 5 to 13, inspire with their musical talent and amazing joie de vivre in a show that combines Celtic music and singing along with French Canadian step-dancing.
Their father, Doug Leahy, grew up in a musical family and performed with his parents and siblings from a young age. Now, he and his wife Jennifer perform with their children at venues in Canada and the U.S. in fun-filled, energetic performances.
