Something happens when Felsen plays. It's some kind of strange voodoo of give and take between band and audience. Like clockwork, we routinely get lost in the music. We always say, you gotta shed some blood for the audience. You gotta reveal something for them, you gotta reach out to them and make yourself available, be vulnerable, take risks and deviate from the script. Audience participation is mandatory and non-negotiable. Feeling inhibited? Not a problem. Leading you by the hand is our job, but you'll be required to sing along. Fear not--it's good for you. Like Bob Dylan said "You gotta serve somebody" and we're here to serve you. Do you remember rock and roll? Like when you were a kid and it rolled over you in waves. Well... we're still here manning (and womaning) the precarious good ship rock and roll. Felsen is here for you.
