About this concert
"You will remember this concert." Grammy-winning, Emmy-nominated Eileen Ivers and her energetic, passionate multi-instrumentals quintet deliver an evening of entertaining, intricate and joyful mix of American roots music forged from Celtic roots. Eileen is hailed as one of the great innovators and pioneers in the Celtic and World music genres. Eileen will change the way you think of the violin.
“It is her ability to make a show personal to each audience member that separates her from others, that and her immense talent.
She brings life to her music like no other and single-handedly makes the violin cool.
She has surrounded herself with an amazingly talented band …together, their camaraderie extends to their seamless efforts on stage to deliver a musical performance of the highest caliber.” Kathy Stockbridge, Jounalist. Recent review of Nov 6, 2021 Eileen Ivers concert, Earlville Opera House.

Eileen Ivers Biography

What’s the difference between a fiddle and a violin?
In the hands of a celebrated guest soloist with over 50 Symphony Orchestras, who also shreds electric fiddle through fuzz, wah and looping effects
…who is called “the future of the Celtic Fiddle” by the Washington Post, and “the Jimi Hendrix of the violin” by the New York Times
…who is Bronx born, yet the 9-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion.
What’s the difference? Nothing, in the hands of Eileen Ivers.
Grammy®-Awarded and Emmy-nominated, Eileen Ivers, continues to push the fiddling tradition boundaries from a folk music staple to a fiercely fresh, powerfully beautiful, intensely driving world stage experience. Eileen has performed with Sting, ‘Fiddlers 3’ with Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg and Regina Carter, Patti Smith, Al Di Meola, The Chieftains, was the groundbreaking Musical Star of Riverdance, a founding member of Cherish the Ladies, a former member of the Hall & Oates band, a featured instrumentalist on soundtracks including “Gangs of New York” and “Back to Titanic”, and she is one of the most awarded All-Ireland Fiddle and Banjo champions ever. Eileen has been proclaimed “a national treasure” by NCTA Board Chairman George Holt as she celebrates her 30 plus year career as a performer, composer, producer, songwriter, band leader, educator, multi-instrumentalist and renowned pioneer in connecting her American, Irish traditional, jazz, blues, and world roots.
Eileen’s new, energetic, joyous and passionate band, Universal Roots, connect music, cultures, stories and emotions that tie us together …celebrating the fact that we are more alike than dissimilar. Music truly is the universal language. The ensemble, with a broad array of instrumentation, features Matt Mancuso (lead vocals, guitar, trumpet, fiddle), Buddy Connolly (button accordion, whistles, piano, vocals), Lindsey Horner (upright and electric bass, baritone sax, vocals), Dave Barckow (lead vocals, percussion, guitar), together with Eileen on fiddle, mandolin, banjo, bodhran, and live looping.
Eileen's previous CD, “Beyond the Bog Road”, and its extensively researched sixteen-page liner notes focus on the influences of the Celtic tradition on Roots music (bluegrass, French-Canadian, Cajun, Appalachian, Americana) and how the music journeyed on to become a fundamental ingredient of the American Country music tradition. Irish Music Magazine called it “a triumph …a musical Magnus-Opus” and the album reached number one on the Alt-Country Roots Music Chart.
