Momentum Series: Eileen Ivers & The Brigideens

The Brigideens: A Fiery New Force in Acoustic Roots Music

Get ready for a night of powerful, resonant, emotional songs with The Brigideens—a bold new acoustic roots band formed and led by Grammy-winning, Emmy-nominated, 9-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion Eileen Ivers. This dynamic, female-led ensemble brings together acclaimed vocalists and instrumentalists from the Celtic and Americana traditions to create a sound that’s both rooted and refreshing.

From traditional reels to soaring ballads and genre-blending originals, The Brigideens deliver a high-energy, emotionally resonant performance. Expect fiddle fireworks, driving banjo, vibrant percussion, rich harmonies, and stories that celebrate resilience, connection, and the flame of creativity.

Featuring:

• Eileen Ivers – fiddle
• Caitlin Maloney – lead vocals
• Hilary Hawke – banjo, upright bass, clarinet, spoons & vocals
• Anna Colliton – bodhrán, cajón, percussion
• Colin Forhan – guitar, tenor banjo, concertina & vocals

Named for Brigid, the Celtic patron of poets and healers, The Brigideens are keepers of a musical flame—honoring tradition while blazing their own trail. Their debut EP, The First Sessions – Live in Studio, arrives later this year, but you can experience the magic live, right here at Caffè Lena.

SAMPLE SONG

As Stone Mountain Arts Center’s Carol Noonan puts it:

"Soaring vocals and equally stellar playing—a gal power band you don’t want to miss . . . the crowd went wild for them!"
