Eileen Ivers

Eileen’s band, Universal Roots, connects music, cultures, stories and emotions that tie us together …celebrating the fact that we are more similar than different. Music truly is the universal language. The ensemble, with a broad array of instrumentation, features Colin Forhan (lead vocals, guitar, banjo, concertina), Buddy Connolly (button accordion, keyboards, vocals), Lindsey Horner (upright and electric bass, baritone sax, harmonicas, vocals), Dave Barckow (lead vocals, percussion, guitar), together with Eileen on fiddle, mandolin, banjo, bodhran, and live looping.
