The Felice Brothers

Hailing from the Catskills Mountains The Felice Brothers includes three brothers and a bassist friend Christmas. The sound of these contemporary folk singer-songwriters is reminiscent of music from Townes Van Zandt, the Avett Brothers, and '60s folk-rockers like Bob Dylan and the Band. The group got its start playing in New York City subway stations and over the years, the band has toured with the likes of Levon Helm and Bright Eyes. When dubbed WXPN's Artist to Watch in December 2008 XPN Program Director Bruce Warren said "We've fallen in love with The Felice Brothers' raggedy country-folk-rock and so have our listeners. The Felice Brothers bring their own rough and tumble love of American roots music to the mix including gospel and blues."
