Felice County Fair

The Felice Brothers are a folk‑rock band rooted in the Catskill Mountains of New York, originally formed by brothers Ian, James, and Simone Felice (later joined by bassist Greg Farley and drummer Josh Rawson) who grew up steeped in Appalachian music and storytelling traditions; after releasing their debut album *Through Hands of Stone* in 2006 and gaining a cult following for gritty, narrative‑driven songs such as “Goddamned You Make Me Sad” and “The Ballad of Lucy Jordan,” they have become known for a blend of Americana, country, and indie rock that evokes the spirit of rural life, and in 2026 they organized the one‑day “Felice County Fair” celebration—a festival‑style gathering that featured a roster of folk‑leaning artists including Conor Oberst, Hurray for the Riff‑Raff, Evan Stephens Hall, and Haley Stuart, while also releasing a compilation album under the same name that showcases both the brothers’ own songs and contributions from a variety of contemporary folk musicians.
