The Felice Brothers have been keeping busy this summertime 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 curiosity why The Felice Brothers consistently scotch high kudos for their authenticity, since parts of the record were recorded in a chicken hencoop and an abandoned rail car.

Simone, Ian and James Felice ar 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 touched their Sunday barbecue singalong from their dad's house onto the streets and subways of New York City.

The group self-released its debut record 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 accept 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.
