The Felice Brothers first emerged from the Hudson Valley nearly two decades ago with a gloriously ramshackle sound that drew on everything from Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan to Walt Whitman and Flannery O’Connor. In just a few short years, the group went from busking in the subway to playing Radio City Music Hall with Bright Eyes and appearing everywhere from the Newport Folk Festival to Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble. Beginning with 2007’s Tonight At The Arizona, the band helped pave the way for the modern folk revival, while at the same time challenging its boundaries and conventions with bold sonic experimentation and unyielding integrity. The New York Times likened their music to “the rootsy mysticism of the Band,” while Rolling Stone praised the “scrappiness” of their “folk-rock noir,” and The Guardian hailed their songs as “impeccably crafted, with literary-minded lyrics that are both playful and profound.”
The band’s newest record, Valley of Abandoned Songs, marks The Felice Brothers’ debut for Conor Oberst’s new Million Stars label and showcases the group at their most intimate and unvarnished. Balancing hope and despair in equal measure, the album explores the search for meaning and connection through the eyes of a wide-ranging cast of misfits and outcasts, and though the recordings here span several years of almost-lost tunes, the result is a thoroughly cohesive collection that manages to feel both utterly timeless and particularly attuned to the present all at once.
Fun show, as expected by the Felice Brothers. Cool venue - my first time there. Will definitely be back. And I'll always see the Felice Brothers.
The Felice Brothers played with incredible energy this night. They just keep writing great songs and their performances keep getting better. Can’t wait to see them again!
Happiness was a solid opening act and we'll check out their music more. The Felice brothers put on a great show as usual. Set was a little short I thought but they always leave you wanting more.
Such amazing performers, with deep, emotional, and original music. Chill, cool crowd. After one show you’ll be hooked, welcome to the family!
Great Space, great crowd, Great Band and a great show!!!!
Power, passion and great entertainment. The Felice Brothers never disappoint.
My brother celebrating his 50th birthday and asked all his siblings to join. Only 2 out of the 5 had heard the band, so we all had a weekend in Woodstock with our signifigant others. The Felice Brothers filled the Bearsville theatre with an amazing show!! Great music with a lot of energy and passion as they perform. I would defiantly join my brother when he attends his 9th show. Only had wished to start closer to scheduled time. 10:30 was just a bit later than advertised and had been at theatre since 8. Fun times and great venue !!!
Never saw band prior was beyond impressed!!! Great show only downside trouble with phone ticket went from door to booth 3x fortunarely had paper confirmation so delayed entry by 15 minutes but security helped and was friendly.
Saw them on NYE. Fantastic show! Didn't want it to end.
Very much looked forward to the show, but was very disappointed.
