BEYOND THE BOG ROAD 
Charity from the Choctaws. Repurposed slave ships and New Orleans dance crazes. Icy Canadian islands, Appalachian hollers, railway camps in the desert. These are all scenes and skeins of Irish experience, a trail of tales left by millions of travelers fleeing famine and seeking hope. Virtuoso Celtic fiddler Eileen Ivers — nine time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion, original Riverdance star and lifelong traveler of Ireland’s musical paths—brings to light the riveting world of Irish stories and sounds, ones that will amaze even the most seasoned travelers through immigrant history. Ivers is mapping out these compelling tracks for audiences across North America this February and March with a new multimedia concert, Beyond the Bog Road. The images, sounds, and tales of Irish immigrants' desperate and daring journeys to and in America come together in Ivers' stunning technique, unique artistry, and deep Irish-American roots. Ivers and her ensemble of 13 musicians and dancers will be performing in Florida, Utah, New Hampshire, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. This is Eileen Ivers at her most expansive, a seminal work and a slice of Irish-American musical history told through Eileen's signature passion and rootsy grace. read more

Raves for Beyond the Bog Road ... "Eileen Ivers is the joy of life incarnate. Beyond the Bog Road, aside from exhilarating entertainment, educated and moved me. A rare combination, indeed. One of our board members was profoundly affected by Beyond the Bog Road. For the first time in his life he understood why his Irish grandmother could not bring herself to talk about her homeland and the circumstances that brought her to America. I have never experienced so many members of an audience that were not only excited by a performance, but truly grateful to an artist such as Eileen." "Eileen Ivers is the equivalent of a Celtic rock star! She and her band made our auditorium sound like a revival was going on, the way the audience was clapping, stomping, and cheering on the music. I loved her liveliness and the band's unique way of integrating all different sounds of music--from traditional Irish jigs and reels, to African rhythms, to Appalachian bluegrass notes - to illustrate the history of Irish culture, which has ultimately become a part of our own American experience." Critical Acclaim for Eileen Ivers & Immigrant Soul ... "...a sensation" - Billboard Magazine "At the center of it all was the brilliant fiddler Eileen Ivers ...no wonder the audience loved every minute" - L.A. Times "She electrifies the crowd with a dazzling show of virtuoso playing" - Irish Times "A beautifully inventive fiddler ...Eileen Ivers & Immigrant Soul rocked the house." - Boston Globe "The music that had the capacity audience leaping to its feet and clapping in unison was Ivers' incredible fiddling. She suggests the future of the Celtic Fiddle." - The Washington Post "Ivers plays with such genius that she surpasses genre. It was an invigorating, highly energetic evening." - Nancy Stetson, Naples Daily News "Nobody does it better than Eileen Ivers. Not only does the orchestra savor her musicianship and professionalism, but, she never misses to bring a pops audience to its feet with thunderous ovations." - Marvin Hamlisch, National Symphony and Pittsburgh Symphony Principal Pops Conductor Read more at www.eileenivers.com.
