Eileen Ivers

  • Did you know…
  • An homage to the rich and tireless passage of the native Irish people from Ireland to Canada and the United States, Eileen Ivers has created Beyond the Bog Road, an all-star assemblage of Irish and Old Time musicians, singers and champion step dancers and cloggers/tap dancers.
  • Irelands bog roads were to ancient sod fields, laboriously farmed to provide essential source of fuel and warmth. These same roads led emigrants away from their beloved homeland into a thriving diaspora, where their traditionals were nurted and passed down.
  • Being an Irish-American, the intrigue of learning more about the multicultural sounds of her childhood took hold. After graduating magna cum laude in Mathematics from Iona College and while continuing her post-graduate work in Mathematics, Eileen fully immersed herself in the different genres of music which she experienced growing up in New York.
  • Eileen Ivers’ recording credits include over 100 contemporary and traditional albums and numerous movie scores. Her recordings continue to display why Ivers is hailed as one of the great innovators and pioneers in the Celtic and World music genres.
  • ZETA Music, the world’s leading electric stringed instrument maker, has recently introduced the Eileen Ivers Signature Series blue violin.

      Have gone to Eileen’s concerts for over 10 years and each concert is, as always, new and fresh and ends always with a rousing standing ovation.

      She have been a constant in the Lowell Mass. Folk Festival and the Boardinghouse Outdoor concerts and is always a sell-out.

      Lowell and the Boston area love Eileen and wish we could see her more often.
