Raw Roots Tour
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Irish fiddle phenom Eileen Ivers. The GRAMMY Award-winning artist continues to push and transcend the boundaries of folk music by shredding on her electric fiddle. Her performances with her band are playful, passionate, and a hand-clapping, foot-stomping good time. Eileen Ivers was a groundbreaking musical star of Riverdance and a founding member of Cherish the Ladies. She has played alongside Hall & Oates and The Chieftains; has been a featured instrumentalist on movie soundtracks including Gangs of New York; and is one of the most awarded Irish fiddle and banjo champions ever. You won’t want to miss “the Jimi Hendrix of the violin” (The New York Times) performing a fresh mix of Celtic classics and music that celebrates the Celtic roots of Americana music.The following talented dancers from the Boyle School of Irish Dance, Vivian Morris, Carolyn Marshall, Phoebe Marshall, and Claire Williams will perform on three pieces.
