SkyBest Mainstage Series Event:

Leahy

Saturday, June 27, 2009 · 8pm

Farthing Auditorium[ Map ]

Appalachian State University

Boone, North Carolina

Sponsored by Westglow Resort & Spa

A whirlwind triple-threat of fiddle-driven music, dance and vocals augmented by keyboards and percussion, Leahy is a powerhouse of eight musical brothers and sisters who delight and stupefy audiences whenever they perform. Known for their unique blend of musical styles and genres, Leahy combines the influence of their Irish and Scottish roots with a rare level of energy, originality and musicianship.

The band's three acclaimed CDs—Leahy, Lakefield and In All Things—have garnered significant critical acclaim, several awards, worldwide sales of over half a million copies and touring success throughout Canada, the United States and Europe.

The raven-haired clan from Lakefield, Ontario brings to the stage a distinct repertoire that Leahy writes, arranges and produces. They continue to be driven to forge new paths with their category-defying brand of music; a sound and style known to their many fans as simply "Leahy."

Leahy wowed their audience at An Appalachian Summer Festival in 2005, receiving standing ovations and roaring applause.

A Schaefer Popular Series Event, sponsored by Westglow Resort & Spa, and made possible through the generous support of Bonnie and Jamie Schaefer.
