Natalie MacMaster & Donnell Leahy

Celtic superstars Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy return to the Betty Speers Stage.

In the early 2000s, they juggled raising seven musically gifted children, running a farm, and building a thriving farmers market in Lakefield, Ontario, while performing over 75 shows a year. With their children now in their teens, Natalie and Donnell are ready to bring their
electrifying live performances back to audiences.

Natalie, known for her virtuosic skill and charm, was inducted into the Order of Canada in 2006, won 2 JUNO Awards, 19 East Coast Music Awards, and released 3 Gold Albums. Donnell, with his incredible stage presence, led the family band “Leahy” to Double-Platinum status,
won 3 JUNO Awards, and was the subject of the Academy Award-winning documentary “The Leahys: Music Most of All.”

Together, they have sold out over 1000 shows in North America and collaborated with stars like Yo-Yo Ma, Michael McDonald, Allison Krauss, and Nickelback. They have also performed with The Chieftains, Faith Hill, Carlos Santana, Don Henley, and Béla Fleck. Despite their busy
schedules, Natalie and Donnell remain must-see live performers, continuing their tireless touring.
