Live Irish Music: St. Patrick's Day Celebration at Charlie's Irish Pub

 Friday March 14th
Charlie’s Pub 7:30pm to 11:30pm - Jennifer Licko
Recently awarded the 2014 Folk and Traditional Arts Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, Jennifer Licko is quickly making Minnesota home and sharing her music with new fans in the Midwest. Originally from North Carolina, Jennifer masterfully combines the Bluegrass and Country music from her American roots with traditional Celtic music of her ancestors. “I find myself relaxing, enjoying Jennifer’s flawless voice and finding the roots that are similar in tradition to American Folk music”, Says Dennis Halsey from Best Female Musicians

1:00pm to 4:00pm - Tom Dahill
Tom Dahill and Ginny Johnson are superb entertainers with a fantastic repertoire of old Irish songs and dance tunes that you won't hear from anyone else. They have command of many instruments between them; Irish button accordion, concertina, uilleann pipes, fiddle, whistle, bodhrán, guitar and they sort of juggle these instruments between them to suit the sounds to fit the venue as they go along through their performances. This is the music that is part of the soul of Ireland.
