The Felice Brothers

Hailing from your Catskill Mountains of Upstate NY, the Felice Brothers mix folk, Americana, and revivalist origins rock right into a uniquely earthy appear. Brothers Ian, Simone, and Wayne Felice was raised within the Hudson River Valley, many miles from the musical hamlet of Woodstock. Such symbols as Bob Dylan as well as the Music group once found motivation in your community, as well as the Felice young people were driven by way of a very similar muse, gathering every Weekend evening for jam periods and cookouts at their father’s home. As their abilities improved, the brothers opted to keep the Catskills and relocate to NEW YORK. With Adam playing accordion, Simone playing drums, Ian managing electric guitar/vocal duties, along with a previous dice-playing friend called Xmas Clapton on bass, the quartet kept informal shows in subway channels while hawking its debut record, 2006’s Through These Reigns and Eliminated. Recorded within a poultry coop with the bandmates themselves, the record was tough and imperfect, as was the follow-up work, Tonight on the Az. Such a definite, ramshackle sound discovered a quick market, however, particularly following the music group toured alongside Shiny Eye and participated in another of Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble shows in past due 2007. The brand new calendar year brought very similar luck, because the Felice Brothers inked a cope with Group Love Information and released a self-titled LP in early 2008. Many rounds of touring implemented, including festival prevents at Bonnaroo, All Factors West, Hill Jam, as well as the Newport Folk Celebration (where a day rainstorm cut capacity to the stage, leading to an impromptu acoustic functionality in the dirt). The Felice Brothers after that returned towards the studio room, emerging in ’09 2009 with Yonder May be the Time clock. More touring implemented, including stints with Aged Crow Medicine Display, Justin Townes Earle, as well as the Dave Matthews Music group, culminating within the discharge of a fresh long-player, Celebration, Florida in 2011. Simone Felice eventually dropped from the group to go after a solo profession and use his side task the Duke & the Ruler, however in 2014 the brand new lineup from the Felice Brothers — Ian on vocals and electric guitar; Adam on accordion, keyboards, and vocals; Greg Farley on fiddle and vocals; Josh Rawson on bass and vocals; and David Estabrook on drums — released the record Beloved Waitress and lay out on a significant tour in support. Because of their next record, 2016’s Life at night, the group jumped brands, releasing the place with the roots-oriented indie Yep Roc Information.
