Jackie Tice USA
A Kerrville New Folk Award-winner, Jackie Tice co-mingles her Native American and old European roots to create her own lyrical and musical style, with subjects as diverse as the lives of Magdalene women, Shakespearian love and the call of coyotes.
Tice was raised in a Montgomery County, PA steel mill town, growing up with six brothers and sisters and enough songwriting fodder to last a lifetime. Today she has four albums to her credit and a collection of rave reviews from major music media in the US, Australia, Italy and Canada.
“I love your songs!” — Lucinda Williams (at the 1996 Kerrville New Folk Awards where Jackie won and Lucinda was one of the judges)
In 2002, Tice produced an acoustic collection of songs inspired by her oil paintings, entitled In These Bones, which, alongside the Doc Watson/David Holt collection, Legacy, was recently nominated as Best Traditional Folk Album by the grassroots JPF Music Awards. Tice's song “Domestic Delinquent,” was included in the 2002 Random House publication, “Life's a Stitch: The Best of Contemporary Women's Humor,” an anthology of humorous short stories, poetry, songs and cartoons alongside writing by Gloria Steinem, Erma Bombeck and others.
- “Tice's songs capture instances of universal recognition and appeal. Her ode to a Dublin pub, 'The Marijo Tonight,' is a guitar player's ‘Piano Man’ and as bittersweet as John Prine's ‘Angel from Montgomery.’” — Acoustic Guitar Magazine
