Our Celtic Christmas recording of "We Three Kings" is now available for download!
I have been performing and playing music ever since I remember. Living in many different places and being a mother of two young boys has influenced my music and developed me as an artist. Follow me as I juggle trying to be the best I can be as a musician, wife and mother while enjoying all the moments life has to offer.

Article in the Tideland News, Swansboro NC
Many thanks to Brad Rich at the Tideland news for the wonderful article he wrote for our upcoming Celtic Christmas Concert in Swansboro NC!
Weather aside, it doesn’t feel like fall in Swansboro until the Mullet Festival, and it doesn’t feel entirely like Christmas until Jennifer Licko sings. The Friendly City by the Sea native will kick off the season again this year, bringing her Celtic Christmas show to town on Dec. 15.
Although there are sure to be familiar elements in the concert - it’s the third year in a row for the show - the Minnesota-based Licko promised a new wrinkle or two, Thanks to a new band, which includes fiddler Zack Kline and guitarist/banjo player/backing vocalist Patsy O’Brien.

Folk and Traditional Arts Grant
Yeah! I'm super excited! Over the summer I applied for a Folk and Traditional Arts Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board and I recently learned that I got the grant! THANK YOU to the panel!
The grant will allow me to give a workshop on Scots Gaelic song and present four Scots Gaelic song concerts throughout Minnesota along with piper Dick Hensold. One of the concerts will be filmed and the songs will be released via youtube for a larger audience to enjoy.
I will be posting a lot more about my work with the grant and I'm looking forward to sharing lots of pics, videos, music and research!

2013 Band Photo Shoot
We decided to do an outdoor photo shoot during the hottest week of the year here in Minnesota. What fun! HA!
It was nice to do the shoot down at the old mill ruins in Minneapolis. What a beautiful city with great spots to visit. If you are ever in the area, you should certainly go down to the old mill ruins and the old mill museum.
Here are some pics we may be using from our shoot. Thanks to my photographer: Antonio Carrere!

Celtic Christmas Concert news!
Celtic Christmas Concert news!
Sneak peak into whats to come for this year's Celtic Christmas Concert:
Joining me this year will be one of Irish music's most respected guitar accompanists; Patsy Obrien!
“Patsy O’Brien is Ireland’s best kept musical secret..” — Irish Examiner
“Like a good wine, guitarist and singer/songwriter Patsy O’Brien has let his musicianship flourish…. throaty vocals, languid guitar.” — Irish Times
Patsy’s guitar playing moves from driving rhythm to delicate and melodic finger picking. Of the range of emotion he draws from the guitar, The New Haven Advocate writes, “His music is stomping and ocean breezy – sure footed and fragile …” He has worked with some of the most respected players in Irish Music including fiddle player Eileen Ivers and piping legend Paddy Keenan. He has also performed with The Cathie Ryan Band for the past five years.
I'm excited and can't wait for my North Carolina friends to hear him play!
