[2] The line-up of the group varies depending upon the availability of its members, who are present or absent due to marriage, childrearing and other obligations.

In 1997, the band resumed recording with their "relaunch" album, Leahy which also introduced the group's new branding.

Also in 1998, Leahy were added as the opening act for Canadian country singer Shania Twain's 1998 Come on Over Tour and were featured in two television specials from the tour, Live and The Specials, performing with Twain on the song "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)".

In 2008, Donnell Leahy and Natalie MacMaster were awarded honorary doctorate degrees by Trent University.

These self-titled releases were privately pressed and usually sold at their concerts, although Christmas with the Leahy Family was carried by retailers such as A&B Sound.
