In addition to tours of North America and Australia, over the past year The Felice Brothers have performed at festivals including SXSW, Coachella, The Newport Folk Festival, The Calgary Folk Festival, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass.Celebration, Florida, The Felice Brothers' fourth LP, was released by Fat Possum in May and earned praise from publications including American Songwriter, The A.V.
