Thanks to this piece in Connect Savannah entitled “Eight is Enough,” I learned about the Celtic musical sensation of “Leahy.” The group is comprised of eight brothers and sisters – children of a fiddle champion and step-dancing champion – were raised along with three other siblings on an Ontario farm. In the interview two of the brothers – Doug and Donnell – spoke from their recording studio “The Farm,” which is located next to their family farm. Doug was quoted saying that the siblings still work the farm. “I find it’s a great release of stress to get away with the animals and be out in the field.”
The double-platinum troupe is set to open this year’s Savannah Music Festival on March 15.
