Join Price Chopper and Market 32 at the ever-popular and always free, Music Haven Concert Series in Schenectady, featuring the McKrells and Eileen Ivers.
"You will remember this concert." Grammy-winning, Emmy-nominated Eileen Ivers and her energetic, passionate multi-instrumentals quintet deliver an evening of entertaining, intricate and joyful mix of American roots music forged from Celtic roots. Eileen is hailed as one of the great innovators and pioneers in the Celtic and World music genres.
Eileen will change the way you think of the violin. “It is her ability to make a show personal to each audience member that separates her from others, that and her immense talent. She brings life to her music like no other and single-handedly makes the violin cool. She has surrounded herself with an amazingly talented band …together, their camaraderie extends to their seamless efforts on stage to deliver a musical performance of the highest caliber.” Kathy Stockbridge, Journalist.
And of course, the McKrells need no introduction! Suffice it to say, "World domination" is not a phrase most of us would associate with a band, but Albany music critic David Malachowski thinks differently. "The only thing between the McKrells and world domination is time," he says in Metroland. Perhaps it's the culture-spanning comfort of their tunes or the worldclass instrumentation of this hard-working band. Whatever the source, the McKrells deliver a unique musical vocabulary and humble their peers in the process. "Traditional suits-and-ties bluegrass The McKrells are not...But those hip enough...will soon be awash in a sound that can best be described as Irish bluegrass. Yes, it's bluegrass, mostly, but there's a lilt to the tunes, a bouncing drive to the melodies, the trace of an accent in Kevin's vocals, and here and there a touch of melancholy that seems to go hand in hand with the Irish persona," reports Bluegrass Now.
See you there!
