The Felice Brothers

The band got its start in 2006 by brothers Ian, James and Simone Felice, who were joined by their friend Josh "Christmas Clapton" Rawson, previously a traveling dice player, fiddle player Greg Farley and drummer David Estabrook. They originally started playing in the New York City subway stations, and in 2006 they self-released their debut album, “Through These Reins and Gone.” They followed up with their second album in 2007 entitled “Tonight At The Arizona” and toured the United States.

On 7 January 2008 the group signed a deal with Team Love Records and extensively toured the United States to promote their newest album. They also played a number of music festivals including Bonnaroo, All Points West Music and Arts Festival and the Philadelphia Folk Festival. Continuing their stride of touring, the band went on tour in 2009 with Old Crow Medicine Show, Justin Townes Earle and the Dave Rawlings Machine for a nine-city package tour called The Big Surprise Tour. Additionally in 2009, the group released “Yonder Is The Clock” which also peaked at Number 20 on the US Billboard Top 200. Then, in 2011 they released “Celebration, Florida” which peaked at Number 5 On the US Billboard Top 200.
