pond playing festivals and gigs throughout the UK and Europe with the likes of
the Waterboys, Blanche and David Grey. After making their way across America
this summer for their first tour, they band hooked up with Bright Eyes for a
venerated stage at Radio City Music Hall. The Felice Brothers also kicked it
with Levon Helms for one of his classic Midnight Rambles upstate.Along they way,
only available at live dates.The sound that emerges from their instruments is
busking and impromptu subway performances filled their bellies, now their
recordings and live performances brings the backwoods to the cities and concert
Brothers proudly announce their signing to Team Love Records.
Simone, Ian and James Felice are the three eldest boys from a family of seven,
year ago, the Brothers adopted a runaway dice-thrower and chancer, a 19 year old
called Christmas. They convinced him to quit his job and the motley quartet
forsook all else but song and moved their Sunday BBQ sing-alongs from their
toil, living in a 1987 special education bus, with arrests, and genuine
panhandler fun, a free-lance music writer named Gabe Soria (Mojo, Vice) stumbled
upon the boys singing and barking their wares at a farmers market in Brooklyn
and one thing led to another.Now the Felice Brothers and blood brother Christmas
all live, tour, sing, write and gamble together on their little bus.
earned them comparisons to Woodie Guthrie, a young Springsteen to the Scorsese
film Gangs of New York. The boys now travel the world performing homegrown and
gritty Americana on the city stages as if they were hosting a sing-along on
their own front porch surrounded by family and friends or playing the backroom
of a dusty tavern.
