The Felice Brothers

New York quintet The Felice Brothers play a special intimate show at The Rainbow Birmingham, following the release of their fifth album Favorite Waitress last year.

The Felice Brothers kicked off in 2006. Their name is a reference to James and Ian Felice’s provenance – they were two of seven children born to a family in upstate NY. They started young, playing under old bridges, back yard BBQs, small town sidewalks, and it’s in that spirit that eventually took their act to NYC, busking the subway platforms.

After a few years their devotion and extreme lifestyle choices paid off. The band has been traveling the world for 8 years now, playing major festivals like Coachella to Midwestern dive bars to ancient churches in Bavarian Germany and and touring with the likes of The Killers, Mumford and Sons, and Bright Eyes. They are known for their wild and intense live shows and their sincere, intelligent song writing.

The Felice Brothers’ most recent album Favorite Waitress was the band’s fifth official release (in addition to six mix-tapes) and marked their first release for new label Dualtone (The Lumineers, Shovels & Rope, Guy Clark). These eleven total releases range from the backwoods kitchen sink folk of God Bless You, Amigo, to the swamp strip-mall Space Odyssey of Celebration, Florida.
