Felice Brothers To Release Album, Tour

In the midst of touring like mad during the past year, After Hours favorites The Felice Brothers also found time to clean out the old chicken coop and turn it into a recording studio to match their hardscrabble songs.  

The homestead studio was the setting for the Brothers' new album, Yonder is the Clock, which is set for release on April 7th.  The Catskills Mountain boys will also head back to the road this month. 

In addition, the surroundings must have had psychic effect as the track listing, which are definitely poultry-influenced.  The album title is borrowed from Mark Twain.

I heard an early version of "Run Chicken Run" at the Reclaim Festival this past year.  Of course, it was fun and funky.  I am interested in hearing the final version of the song.  Alright, I am a little more than interested - I can't wait to hear these new songs.
