The Felice Brothers headline US jaunt

The Felice Brothers will take their energetic brand of folk, Americana and revivalist roots rock on a headlining tour of the US this fall.

The band is scheduled to kick things off Sept. 4 in Burlington, VT, and visit more than 35 cities across the country through early November. Support acts A.A. Bondy and Deer Tick will take turns in the opening slot, and The Felice Brothers will play an Oct. 11 gig with Old Crow Medicine Show in Louisville, KY. Details are listed below.

The Felice Brothers have been keeping busy this summer with a host of festival performances including Bonnaroo, All Points West, The Newport Folk Festival, Mountain Jam, Langerado and San Francisco's inaugural Outside Lands fest. They showed their true colors when the power went out during their Newport performance and they hopped into the audience to finish their set acoustic, tromping around in the mud, according to a press release.

The quintet is supporting its self-titled Team Love Records debut, which dropped in March. It's no wonder why The Felice Brothers consistently score high praise for their authenticity, since parts of the record were recorded in a chicken coop and an abandoned rail car.

Simone, Ian and James Felice are the three eldest boys from a family of seven, born carpenter's sons in the wilds of New York's Catskill Mountains. With their friends Christmas and Farley, they moved their Sunday barbecue sing-along from their dad's house onto the streets and subways of New York City.

The group self-released its debut album, "Through These Reins and Gone," in 2006, and recorded "Tonight at the Arizona" for the UK's Loose Records last year. The Felice Brothers have played overseas gigs with the likes of the Waterboys, Blanche and David Grey, and have hooked up with Bright Eyes and Levon Helms in America.

Music from the latest album and a video for the song "Frankie's Gun" are streaming at The Felice Brothers' MySpace page.
