Southgate House, May 27

It’s another big night at the Southgate House tonight.
Country-folk outfit, The Felice Brothers, return to town for the first time since their appearance at last year’s MidPoint Music Festival. The band formed in 2006, in upstate New York’s Catskill Mountains, about twenty minutes outside of Woodstock. The band consists of Felice brothers, Ian (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Simone (drums, vocals, guitar) and James (accordion, piano, organ), as well as friends Christmas (bass) and Farley (washboard, fiddle). The Felice Brothers are currently touring in support of their latest disc, Yonder Is The Clock. Old-time music in a younger generation, bringing to mind Dylan and the Band.
Alabama singer/songwriter, Taylor Hollingsworth, made his live debut playing in Conor Oberst’s Mystic Valley Band. While touring in 2008 with Conor, Taylor would often perform his song “Central City” from his album, Bad Little Kitty. With his mix of blues, punk and folk, Taylor finds a way to be both dirty and sweet at the same time.
The doors open at 8 pm, but the show doesn’t start until 9 pm. Tickets are $15 at the doors.
If you get time, there is also a free show happening in the parlour, beginning at 9 pm. Wonky Tonk finishes up their monthly artist in residency, with special guest, Nick Coward.
