From her star musical turn in Riverdance and her thirty-plus medals in the All-Ireland Championships to her session work and appearances with such diverse artists and ensembles as Paula Cole, the Boston Pops Orchestra, and Paddy Maloney, fiddler Eileen Ivers has established herself as the pre-eminent exponent of the Irish fiddle in the world today. Recently signed to an exclusive recording agreement with Sony Classical, Ivers made her debut with the label on Back to Titanic (SK 60691) and followed with Crossing the Bridge (SK 60746), an album featuring Ivers' Irish fusion in traditional and original works. On Crossing the Bridge Ivers shines in collaborations with a broad array of celebrated world-music performers, including John Doyle and Seamus Egan of Solás, Bakithi Kumalo (heard on Paul Simon's Graceland album), Joanie Madden of Cherish The Ladies, and jazz artists Eddie Gomez and Randy Brecker.

A founding member of the all-woman folk group Cherish the Ladies, Eileen Ivers has toured the world to great acclaim, not only with Riverdance and Cherish the Ladies, but as a featured player with such popular contemporary performers as the Hothouse Flowers, Luka Bloom, and Patti Smith, as well as with her own band. Her recording credits include appearances on over 60 contemporary and traditional albums. Ivers has toured throughout Europe, the United States, Russia, Japan, Australia, the Philippines, Mexico, and the Caribbean, and has made numerous appearances on network television both in the United States and elsewhere.

Born in the Irish community of the Bronx, New York, Eileen Ivers began playing fiddle at the age of eight and eventually studied with famed Limerick-born fiddler Martin Mulvihill. Along with her thirty medals, Eileen Ivers won seven All-Ireland fiddle titles and an eighth on the tenor banjo.

Back to Titanic includes original film music not included on Titanic, new versions of pieces from James Horner's Oscar®-winning score, as well as new compositions based on Titanic themes. Eileen Ivers will also appear on the forthcoming soundtrack from the film Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her, to be released by Sony Classical later this year.
