About
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.

by RomanticEd on 7/12/14Webster Hall - New YorkSeen them for years and their talent only grows. And my friend bought a Felice Bros accordion in an auction during the concert so we got to meet the guys in the band, couldn't be better guys. And Ian Felice is a genius songwriter, was nice to get to tell him that face to face

Rating: 4 out of 5 The Brothers are just sooo much fun!
by moonmagpie on 5/12/14Mercury Lounge - New YorkLoved the small venue so you got to be more intimate with the band. In the short set we got to hear some of our very fave Felice Brothers tunes. Not sure if the size of the venue or just being on the road too long, but I think some of the raw energy that we love so much about this band was slightly muted. Hoping whe we see them in July at Webster hall the boys are back in their game. (It was the first place I saw them and became an INSTANT fan)
Rating: 5 out of 5 A fantastic way to bring in the new year
by LucasSawyer on 1/6/14Brighton Music Hall - BostonThis was a hugely energetic show from one of my favourite live bands. Excellent sound in the venue, great setlist (they played everything from the very old to the very new, and we even got a Neil Young cover to end the show), and a fantastic NYE atmosphere.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Extraordinary NYE!
by gsinv on 1/4/14Brighton Music Hall - BostonThis was an absolute blast. Full room, friendly crowd mostly. Sound was good, considering the brick walls. These guys play with a lot of heart. So much fun. It was def the best way to ring in the new year.

by Shemp1926 on 1/3/14Brighton Music Hall - BostonOne of the best live bands out there. Great show. It's amazing this band isn't bigger, but I'd see them now before they blow up. I've got to believe they'll be owing the same path as the Avett Brothers.

by bliggan on 4/22/13Bethel Woods Center for the Arts - BethelThe Felice Brothers were rockin' the Catskills once again. The Event Gallery at Bethel Woods is a beautiful venue that I had not previously experienced. It was nice to hear some new songs sprinkled in the varied set of their catalog.

by ScarletMermaid on 4/22/13Bethel Woods Center for the Arts - BethelThe Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is an awesome venue. It was on the smaller inside stage, very quaint and personable. The staff was absolutely wonderful all around, and the bathrooms were exquisite. Being a girl, this can be of high priority:) I would definitely recommend this to anyone and will be returning for sure. And Felice Brothers killed it, as expected.

by KarenWestchester on 4/22/13Bethel Woods Center for the Arts - BethelI purchased tickets to the Felice Brothers as a present for my boyfriend not knowing any of their music. I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy both the opener, Driftwood and the FB. The vibe was great, very energetic and the performance gallery at Bethel Woods was just perfect- very intimate and not jam packed. Great show!

Rating: 4 out of 5 The Real Deal
by Unarguabletruth on 10/2/11Webster Hall - New YorkA great concert, if a little uneven. Terrific songs, real enthusiasm, Ian Felice's world-weary voice is very special, like he's been through a lifetime of pain. What really stands out is the creativity of these guys...they're not the best musicians in the world right now, but I bet they'll keep getting better...and the inclusive, friendly tone of their performance was really refreshing compared with the disconnect you often find with groups. I'm slightly worried that they'll veer toward harder rocking, more generic music...noise is fine but only if it's your noise...Barring the usual traps, I think Felice Bros will be around 20, 30, 40 years from now, telling great stories and leading a chorus of enthusiastic fans... PS - Webster Hall acoustics really need help and they should have some seats around periphery so folks can take a rest once in a while...

by Scatts on 10/2/11Webster Hall - New YorkBy far one of my favorite concerts I've ever been to in my life. Would definitely recommend it to anyone that likes folk or just interested in a fun time. The energy was great and the people were even better. True makers of fine memories.

by banjoman2562 on 5/31/11Brighton Music Hall - BostonGreat show! The Felice Brothers rocked it from start to finish, with a good blend of both old and new, and an energy level like no other! This band never lets me down, and they continue to produce great music, great energy, and a fun night no matter when or where you see them. You can tell they love to play music, and there fans love to hear it!

by MsDolly10 on 11/7/10Music Hall of Williamsburg - BrooklynSaw the Felice Brothers already at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and just loved them! They played even better at the Musichall in Williamsburg - maybe because they were all dressed up for Halloween?;-) Just kiddin'. They had their usual positive energy that makes you dance your behind off. The opening band was very good, too, and they are originally even from San Francisco! I made sure to buy their CD.
