Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Sour Mash

“I put some whiskey in my whiskey.” That lyric, from their self-titled debut album, should tell you all you need to know about The Felice Brothers. The alt-whatever quintet rumbled out of New York’s Catskill Mountains region in 2007 and haven’t looked back. From the UK to Bonnaroo, this rowdy band of musical miscreants has wowed audiences around the world with what venerable Americana rag No Depression called “ethereal, guns-and-sex-and-Dust-Bowl metaphora.” Giddy-up. Put some whiskey in your own whiskey this Thursday as the group plays the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge with a new local outfit, Buzz Jar.
