Leahy’s Luck

Leahy’s Good fortune is a family group centered group from Milwaukee executing traditional and popular Irish music through the entire Midwest. Shaped in 1991 by brothers Tom and Brian Leahy, a lot of the “Irish” audio is supplied by their kids; Brian’s daughters Michelle, Sarah, and Caitlin play fiddle, flute, and tin whistle, respectively, while Tom Leahy’s kids Maura and Evan lead on accordion and bodhran. A lot of the lead vocals, aswell as bass and acoustic guitars, are managed by the elder Leahys. They released three albums in the middle- to past due ’90s, the 1st becoming 1995’s Leahy’s Good fortune, accompanied by 2nd Period Around a yr later on, and Tree Bands in 1998. Their 1st two releases had been designated by an inordinate amount of traditional singalongs like “Moonshiner,” “Danny Boy,” “Hill Dew,” and “Crazy Rover” while Tree Bands displayed noticeable development as younger associates matured and obtained more self-confidence. The much less predictable melody selection (aswell as the the album’s name Tree Bands) is normally reflective from the advancement this group shows.
