The Leahy's were
raised on a farm near Lakefield, Ontario, Canada, where
their roots run deep. Ancestor Michael Leahy arrived there
in 1825 from Ireland and brought with him a rich musical
tradition that has passed down through the generations. Each
of the Leahy children learned to play the fiddle from their
father, while their mother - who was raised in Cape Breton,
Nova Scotia - taught them to sing, dance, and play the
piano. The family quickly gained popularity as they traveled
across Canada, the U.S., and Europe, playing and developing
their own brand of "Leahy" music. |
