As with all forces of nature, the
music and energy created by The Next Generation Leahy simply cannot be
contained. The drive to create music is powerful within each of the Leahy
children. It has given rise to multi-instrumental talents, whose dynamic live
performances have been described as “astounding” and “breath-taking.”
For the last several years, Next
Generation Leahy has performed across North America, and shared the stage with
the likes of The Chieftains, We Banjo 3, The Tenors. With one CD under their
belt, they are working on new material for a new CD.
Belying their young ages, these
siblings are all accomplished multi-instrumentalists whose live performances
are filled with the high-energy, infectious music associated with the Leahy
name. However, not content to play only the music of their Celtic heritage,
these musicians explore many genres of music and pull influences from far and
wide. Fiddle, French accordion, singing, piano, bass, drums, and
French-Canadian step-dancing serve to bring their unique style of music to
life.
The music that lives in each of these
young people - which is so joyful, so positive, and so rare – overflows from
them and affects audiences who have witnessed something truly unique and
remarkable. |
