The Texas Gypsies
The Texas Gypsies are an award winning band with a unique and eclectic
style and sound all their own. Formed by a Grammy winner and professional
musicians that have played with many well-known artists, they are
able to mix violin, horns and guitars and drums to perform a variety
of styles such as: classic Big Band music (Sinatra, Buble'), European
Parisian swing (Django Reinhardt), New Orleans jazz, Texas swing
(Bob Wills), Texas blues, 1950s classics, plus many original compositions
and their own take on pop classics.
The Gypies can perform with four to eight members, who dress in
1930s and '40s attire. Their show features instrumental and vocal
songs that are both artistic and also fun! The music is at once
earthy and sophisticated, appealing to a wide audience. "This
music makes you feel alive," wrote a reviewer in International
Music magazine.
