Their combined album sales exceed one million, and past collaborators include Yo-Yo Ma, Alison Krauss and Béla Fleck, to name a few. Their first recorded collaboration, 2015’s Bob Ezrin-produced album One, which was followed by 2016’s A Celtic Family Christmas (and which cemented the couple’s status as powerhouses on the seasonal circuit) confirmed MacMaster and Leahy were as dynamic working together as they were working apart. Though MacMaster and Leahy followed different trajectories – she a Cape Breton native who could step-dance before she could walk he the oldest brother of acclaimed family group Leahy – both had assuredly crested the traditional music peak. When two of music’s best fiddle players married in 2002, the proverbial mantelpiece was instantly crammed with JUNO and East Coast Music Awards.
It’s an explosive celebration of raw energy and passion that infuses their traditional heritage with their taste for the contemporary. Patrick’s Day, they’ll share the legendary musical traditions of their hometowns of Ontario and Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, alongside their musically gifted children. MacMaster and Leahy bring the audience on a musical and personal journey with their current North American tour, Visions from Cape Breton & Beyond. Group sales of 10 tickets and more are available by calling 50 x123. Tickets range from $35 to $49 and can be purchased by calling 50, online at, or at the Zeiterion Box Office at 684 Purchase Street in New Bedford. This spirited evening highlights the unique talents, influences, and stories of the first family of traditional fiddling.
