CoGreene Presents: An Evening with The Felice Brothers SATURDAY, APRIL 11 • ARTS CENTER THEATRE, 7 P.M.

Many a rock magazine, music reviewer, and fan-blog reports that The Felice Brothers got their start busking in New York City subways.

At CoGreene, we tend to trace the band’s history back a bit farther: to the childhoods of core members Ian and James Felice, who hail from Palenville. On Saturday, April 11, the brothers and their band-mates Jesske Hume and Will Lawrence are coming home – in the midst of an international tour – to perform at C-GCC’s Arts Center Theatre.

The American folk-country rock band is currently promoting their latest album, Undress, which was recorded in Germantown and nominated for Best International Album of the Year by Americana Music Association UK just this November.

In the band’s 13-year run, they’ve performed at such well-heeled festivals as the Newport Folk Festival, Bonnaroo,

and Outside Lands Music and Art Festival, among others. They’ve played with the likes of the Dave Matthews Band and The Old Crow Music Show, and in 2013, their cover of The Drifters’ This Magic Moment was featured in a television commercial for Dell.
