Eileen’s music is said to be eclectic with a touch of classical, Mannheim Steamroller meets Amy Grant.
Contemporary timelessness... “Many folks would call that an oxymoron – a paradoxical saying that used two words with directly opposite definitions – jumbo shrimp for example. But it’s and accurate description of “Pax,” an album by New Berlin singer Eileen Carr of traditional Latin hymns with synthesized, ultra-modern orchestrations.”
Eclectic with a touch of classical…
Recording is her passion, connecting to the Divine her mission. Relax, dim the lights, light a candle, and listen to the music of Eileen Carr …
The glowing reviews say it all, “the music of Eileen Carr is eclectic with a touch of classical, ‘she has the voice of an angel,’ and sincerity is the hallmark of her music’”.
Eileen is currently a cantor at the Cathedral of St. Patrick in New York City.
Eileen's story started in a lively Catholic, Irish home with 13 kids. Singing while doing the dishes was her university of harmony. It quickly became evident that she had a "big" voice for her age. It was then her brother introduced her to the theatre. She would go on to do many leads in musicals before she was out of her teens. Her musical career snowballed from there. Eileen became no stranger to many genres of music. Eileen has had a successful career in pop, theater, commercials, concerts, film, dating back to the 60's. She took time off to raise her family after 10 years on the road with a vaudeville-like comedy musical duo, "Carr and Shebesta. Eileen felt that while a comeback was inevitable, she wished to do something off the well-traveled path, something that would make a lasting, meaningful impression to the world of music. Wishing to bring back peace to what she considered a hectic, stressful world, she chose her medium as a way "to bring back peace to the world."
Should you choose to listen to the brilliance of what she has done, you will easily see she has succeeded beyond expectation.
