The daughter of Irish immigrants, Eileen Ivers grew up in the culturally

her one of the most awarded persons ever to compete in these prestigious
competitions.
"Do not miss them - people will be talking about this band for years to
come. A six piece unit that marinades traditional Irish music and African,
Caribbean and other deeply rhythmic beats." - David Perry, Lowell, MA -
