Christmas Clapton, bassist of the Felice Brothers, seems to be a man of few words, at least when it comes to interviews. So it’s fitting that he boiled down the story of the group’s new album, “Celebration, Florida” (in stores May 10), to a single word.
Change.
On one level, the band underwent an obvious change in 2009 when one of three Felice brothers in the five-member band — drummer Simone — left to start his own group. He has been replaced by Dave Turbeville.
