Eileen Ivers – Beyond the Bog Road March 17, 2010

Today’s most renowned Celtic fiddler and one of the great innovators in Celtic music, Eileen Ivers joins us for St. Patrick’s Day with Beyond the Bog Road, a music, story, dance and film event that explores and celebrates Irish immigrants’ impact on America and America’s impact on Irish immigrants.

Equally at home with traditional tunes and powered-up compositions incorporating American jazz, blues and bluegrass, Ivers electrifies audiences all over the world. A founding member of Irish-American supergroup Cherish the Ladies, Ivers has recorded more than 100 contemporary and traditional albums and numerous movie scores, and was one of the original musicians in Riverdance.

"...the future of the Celtic fiddle."
