Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, Eileen Ivers & Immigrant Soul return to the Missouri Theatre stage for one night only.
Nine-time all-Ireland fiddle champion, star of the original "Riverdance" and best-selling recording artist, Ivers has established herself as the preeminent exponent of the Irish Fiddle. Touted as "...the future of the Celtic fiddle" by the Washington Post and the "Jimi Hendrix of the Violin" by the New York Times, this Celtic sensation puts a colorful spin on Irish roots.
Ivers, the daughter of Irish immigrants, is a master of marrying the music whose roots are in Ireland with the rhythms she grew up with in New York City. Backed by her brilliantly versatile band, expect an evening filled with the rich sound of her Irish roots in harmony with jazz, blues and rock influences.
“The Eileen Ivers Band rocked the house everywhere it played. …A beautifully inventive fiddler …Her playing a tradition-rich yet adventurous, spiced with world, jazz and pop.” ~Scott Alarik, The Boston Globe
“Ivers bridges the gap between her celtic roots and styles ranging from jazz, salsa and flamenco to rock funk and even electronica … a sensation.” ~Billboard Magazine
"The Eileen Ivers Band electrified a familiar repertory, merging the Celtic and African diasporas...she made her instrument sound like Jimi Hendrix's guitar." ~Neil Strauss, The New York Times
