Eileen Ivers - Beyond The Bog Road (2016)

Ivers recording credits include over 80 contemporary and traditional albums and numerous movie scores. Eileen is hailed as one of the great innovators and pioneers in the Celtic and World music genres.This recording started as an overview of the Irish immigrant experience. Beyond the Bog Road is a multimedia concert of music, story, dance and film which celebrates the journey of the Irish immigrant… the story of their impact on America and America's impact on them. The overlying theme of the recording became underpinned with personal anecdotes and much of the record developed into original compositions and original arrangements of traditional songs.

Beyond The Bog Road showcases how Irish music and dance have integrated with various roots music of North America to create one of the richest cross-fertilizations of folk music styles in the world. It brings to light the influences of the Celtic tradition on Bluegrass, Roots and Americana music and how it journeyed on to become a fundamental ingredient of the American country music tradition.From the opening notes of the single Walk On , that features vocals by bluegrass legend and New Found Road singer Tim Shelton, you will travel through time as Eileen Overs brings traditional Irish Folk Music into the thriving mainstream of today's Bluegrass/Roots/Americana scene.
