The Felice Brothers
Band Palenville United States Formed 2006
The Felice Brothers formed in 2006 in Palenville, United States. The Felice Brothers has 27 chart appearances on 18 radio countdowns from 6 stations on RockLists, spanning 2008–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Jazz On The Autobahn”, which appears on 8 lists with a best position of #2. The station that charted The Felice Brothers most often is The Colorado Sound (Fort Collins–Denver, CO), with 8 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2009.
The Felice Brothers hail from Palenville, up in the Catskill Mountains, and they learned their trade the hard way, busking underground at the 42nd Street and Union Square stops back when they lived in Brooklyn. Ian, James and Simone Felice give the band its name, with Greg Farley, a bandmate who goes simply by Christmas and, until 2012, drummer David Turbeville filling out the ragged ranks.
Their self-released debut, Through These Reins and Gone, made Radio Woodstock's top 25 albums of 2006. In 2007 the English label Loose put out Tonight at the Arizona, and the band released Adventures of The Felice Brothers, Vol. I on their own, a loose, ramshackle folk-rock record that sounds cut in a barn with the doors flung open; "Frankie's Gun" is its rowdy, whiskey-voiced singalong. That same year they played Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble in Woodstock and toured with Bright Eyes, and Team Love signed them in the US at the start of 2008.
More than a decade later, From Dreams to Dust, in 2021, brought "Jazz On The Autobahn", proof the band was still working the same stubborn, handmade seam.
