His musical interests started in theater during the late 60's, leading to three years with The Milwaukee Opera Company. With broad tastes in music it is not unusual to hear him breaking into his stellar rendition of the Roy Orbison classic, "Crying". Brian plays guitar adding percussion with a shaker and tambourine. His most prominent talents are his expressive vocals, storytelling, and an occasional display of sibling rivalry. Tom Leahy Tom Leahy has been performing Irish, world and liturgical music since 1990. He retired from FedEx in 2008 after 35 years of service with the company, and is now able to devote much more of his time to musical endeavors.
