“She’s a musical star, but her commitment to her family and to me is a side nobody gets to see. “I think the thing I’m most proud of is Natalie,” Leahy said. “We do wrestle with fears about touring with the children - are they getting enough home life? But we also feel incredibly lucky to be together as a family and to be letting our children develop their musical talent.” MacMaster and Leahy both grew up playing music, and it has only helped their development as people and performers, MacMaster said. And here I am now doing almost exactly the same thing.”Ī Celtic Family Christmas, the couple’s first Christmas album, was released in 2016, and was followed by a nationwide tour not unlike the family’s current trek.įamily shows during the Christmas season have been staples since 2014, after MacMaster got over the fear that a month on the road would have a negative impact on her children. “But I was so in awe of Donnell’s family, of 11 siblings who could play and had a family band. “The fiddle was definitely common ground for us when we first got together,” MacMaster said in a statement. His family’s band is one of the most reputable Canadian Celtic acts in the country.

MacMaster has spent the bulk of the past two decades on the road during the Christmas holidays, both as a solo artist and with various members of her family along for the ride. It was a big success, but the birth of their youngest daughter made it too difficult to get back on the road in 2015. The first Christmas concert tour by the family took place four years ago. “It’s a perfect time to travel across Canada and bring light and happiness to families and fans across the country.” “Christmas is where this whole concept started and we are excited to be travelling as a family,” Leahy, a three-time Juno Award winner, said in a statement. The show will feature holiday favourites played by both the parents and four of their six children, who are known collectively as the MacMaster Leahy Kids.
