THE JENNIFER LICKO BAND presents ‘CELTIC SUMMER NIGHTS’ Residing in Brazil, the award winning Scots Gaelic vocalist originally from North Carolina, Jennifer Licko, is bringing her international band back to the Southeast! "Jennifer Licko could very well be the heir-apparent to Canada’s Loreena McKennitt and Clannad’s Maire Brennan,” says Celtic Life Magazine. Audiences will enjoy music from Jennifer’s album ‘SING’ including Scots Gaelic songs from the dance and work song traditions, as well as traditional and original songs in English. Jennifer’s lively band includes two time All-Ireland fiddle finalist, Andrew Finn Magill, who is another North Carolina native also living in Brazil. “Andrew Magill is a leading fiddler in a new generation of musicians. He plays with incredible versatility and is accomplished in a variety of styles. More important than his technical prowess is the fact that he approaches music with deep insight, sensitivity and respect.”—Martin Hayes, Irish fiddle master. Those familiar with Jennifer’s Christmas Concerts will be familiar with the Irish Guitar wiz Patsy O’Brien. His background credits in accompanying Celtic soloists include Eileen Ivers, Cherish the Ladies singer Cathie Ryan and piping legend Paddy Keenan."Ireland's best kept musical secret - CHECK HIM OUT!"-Paul Dromey, (Irish Examiner) Like the songs they sing, there is a story with this band that audiences will want to hear and experience.
