The Feelies are used to playing in clubs and concert halls. But next week, the band’s modern musical art will be on display in an unusual setting: The Whitney Museum of American Art.
The band — comprising guitarists Glenn Mercer and Bill Million, along with Brenda Sauter on bass, Stanley Demeski on drums and Dave Weckerman on percussion — is giving a rare acoustic performance at the Whitney a week from Friday in the museum’s lower-level store and cafe area.
The space, which regularly hosts rock and classical ensembles, is tight and seating is limited. But this should still be a good warm-up (or more likely, a dress rehearsal) for their Fourth of July weekend shows at Maxwell’s in Hoboken.
