The Felice Brothers

Hailing from the Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York, the Felice Brothers blend folk, Americana, and revivalist roots rock into a uniquely earthy sound. The Felice Brothers clearly value inspiration over technique, though their evocative, '60s-influenced sound reveals they're capable instrumentalists with solid vocal harmonies. The group made the most of their scruffy, back-to-the-land approach on 2008's The Felice Brothers and 2009's Yonder Is the Clock, but with 2011's Celebration, Florida, they experimented with more ambitious and impressionistic arrangements, and gained strength as songwriters on 2019's Undress and 2021's From Dreams to Dust. 2023's download-only Asylum on the Hill and 2024's comparatively starkly arranged Valley of Abandoned Songs were laced with poetic wisdom, nodding to the work of their key touchstone, Bob Dylan.
