For those of us who aren’t at Green Man this weekend, we’ve put together a Spotify playlist for you to enjoy from the comfort of your own home. Maybe listen to it in the bath to really bite your thumb at our unwashed nemeses, those lucky few (okay 15,000) ticketholders. Featuring Slow Club The...
When doctors told Simone Felice that, at the age of 33, he should by rights be dead, it wasn’t like he hadn’t been there before. In June of 2010, Felice was diagnosed with aortic stenosis, a serious heart condition that restricts the flow of blood. After feeling short of breath and collapsing, he cut...

Seasick Steve will make a return to Belfast after his debut solo shows there in 2005 and credits the city with his career...
A précis of the Felice Brothers career to date; five ne’er-do-well musicians reconvene to Woodstock chicken coop and create a righteous country-rock racket highly reminiscent of Catskill patriarchs The Band. Exciting stuff indeed, spurring the music press into a string of complimentary adjectives (especially re their explosive SXSW set) and leading Conor Oberst to...
