Summary

3 images of Boyea and his wife in their living room playing their instruments. Leon on his fiddle while his wife plays the keyboard. Leon Boyea started playing at the age of eight on his dad’s fiddle that was off limits. One day Leon “borrowed it” and his father walked in as Leon was playing. To his surprise, his father was very pleased with what he had heard. Leon went on from there to play regularly around the area for shows and dances over many years. In 2007, Leon was inducted into the North American Fiddlers Hall of Fame in Osceola, New York. He is a 2013 TAUNY North Country Heritage Award recipient.
