The Felice Brothers
CATSKILLS ROOTS-ROCKERS THE FELICE BROTHERS to PLAY CLUB HELSINKI
(HUDSON, N.Y.) – Hudson Valley-based roots-rockers the Felice Brothers play Club Helsinki Hudson on Saturday, November 24, 2012, at 9p.m. The quintet, often compared to its Catskills-based predecessors, The Band, for its fusion of rock, country, folk and gospel, has performed at festivals including Bonnaroo, All Points West, and Newport Folk, and has opened shows for Dave Matthews Band and Bright Eyes. On the group’s most recent studio recording, Celebration, Florida, they seemed to be moving in a more modern, progressive, experimental direction along the lines of latter-day Wilco.
