"Called the "Jimi Hendrix of the violin" by The New York Times, Eileen Ivers has established herself as the pre-eminent exponent of the Irish fiddle in the world today. She has performed with the London Symphony Orchestra, the National Symphony at The Kennedy Center, the Boston Pops, the Chieftains, Patti Smith, among others. She has performed for presidents and royalty worldwide.
The daughter of Irish immigrants, Eileen Ivers grew up in the culturally diverse neighborhood of Bronx, New York. Rooted in traditional Irish music since the age of eight, Eileen proceeded to win nine All-Ireland Fiddle Championships, a tenth on tenor banjo, and over 30 championship medals, making her one of the most awarded musicians ever to compete in these prestigious competitions.
In 1999, Eileen established Eileen Ivers & Immigrant Soul, a compelling mix of African and Latin percussion and bass, traditional Irish instruments, and soulful American vocals. The group, all American-born musicians who grew up in Irish immigrant communities, headlines major performing arts centers, guest stars with numerous symphony orchestras, performs at prominent festivals worldwide, and has appeared on national and international television.
Ivers' recording credits include over 80 contemporary and traditional albums as well as numerous movie scores. Her 2004 release Eileen Ivers & Immigrant Soul continues to illustrate why Ivers is hailed as one of the great innovators and pioneers in the Celtic and world music genres.
