Ahead of the release of their highly anticipated new album, Undress, acclaimed folk rock band The Felice Brothers have announced a Dublin show for January 2020.

Reflecting on the current political climate and general uncertainty in the world, Undress finds the group in a very different place than their last album, 2016's Life In The Dark. Between personnel changes, families growing and the political landscape, the result is a tighter, more-paired down release.

In a statement about the new album, James Felice remarked: “Every song is a story. On this album everything was a bit more thoughtful, including the arrangements, the sonic quality and the harmonies.”

Brothers Ian and James Felice grew up in the Hudson valley of upstate New York. Self-taught musicians, inspired as much by Hart Crane and Whitman as by Guthrie and Chuck Berry, they began in 2006 by playing subway platforms and sidewalks in NYC and have gone on to release nine albums of original songs and to tour extensively throughout the world.

Following the release of Life in the Dark, The Felice Brothers served as the backing band for Conor Oberst’s 2017 release Salutations and the subsequent tour.

Tickets for their Whelan's gig are priced at €23.00 (incl. booking fee), and go on sale this Friday at 9am. See whelanslive.com for more information.

 Undress, out on May 3, is available to pre-order now. Listen to 'Poor Blind Birds' from the new album below.
