Eileen Ivers - Beyond the Bog Road (CD)

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. 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 roots music... bluegrass, French Canadian, Cajun and Appalachian... and how it journeyed on to become a fundamental ingredient of the American country music tradition.
