Americana Music News — Eileen Ivers, an extraordinary violinist best known for her performances with Riverdance, comes to Nashville on Friday, Oct. 26, for a concert at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center’s James K. Polk Theater.
It should be a good fit. Just as Nashville has outgrown its country music roots, Ivers has moved past her reputation as a Celtic musician to embrace the sound of multiple countries.
With her band Immigrant Soul, Ivers explores a range of world, funk, pop, jazz and Irish music. Ivers’ fiddle work is impeccable and energizing, regardless of the genre.
A 9-time all-Ireland fiddle champion, Ivers first came to prominence as a member of Cherish the Ladies.
Tickets for the 8 p.m. show are available here.
