USCB CFA hosting Leahy
USCB Center for the Arts will be presenting Canadian folk roots band Leahy at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 23.
Over the course of their notable career, Canadian group Leahy has secured a place as one of the country’s most highly regarded progressive folk-roots bands. Their emergence on the Canadian music scene in the late 1990’s with their chart-topping instrumental single “Call to Dance,” introduced audiences to a new way of accessing a uniquely Canadian music genre. The “Leahy sound” is a combination of strong stride piano, driving rhythm guitar, unique bass lines and layered with a contemporary drumming style.
Tickets are $48 for adults, $40 for seniors and military, and $20 for students, and may be purchased at https://bit.ly/3PJcJHl or by calling the CFA Box Office at 843-521-4145. The USCB Center for the Arts is wheelchair accessible, with free parking next to the theater.
