Description

Independence and integrity have defined the path of Gypsy Soul, in the artistry and humanity of the duo’s exquisite music, which both comes from and reaches the far edges of the earth. Although the music’s roots may be found in Celtic and Americana realms, wilder and deeper edges of rock, blues, jazz and world music also find their way in. Could it be any other way, given the eclectic nature of the band members’ origins? Vocalist Cilette Swann —with her soaring four plus-octave soprano voice—has Irish, South African and Canadian roots, adding to her Pacific Northwest residency and years spent living and performing in France and the UK. Multi-instrumentalist and producer Roman Morykit—who excels on fretless bass, acoustic and electric guitar, and is a producer/engineer of absolute mastery—was born in Britain, with his Ukranian and Italian heritage informing his experience. The two met in Scotland, their gypsy souls quickly becoming one in both music and life. The course of the years since has been a continuous journey of success and struggle, fierce persistence and constant creative growth, with pure expression of soul taking precedence over mere virtuosity.

Gypsy Soul has insistently followed an independent path of positivity, deep spirit, community contribution and celebration. Over the course of ten CDs—including the latest, Grace and Tranquility, a collaboration with lyricist and author Eric Alan—they’ve sold over 110,000 CDs without benefit of label support, as well as 1.5 million digital downloads. Grace and Tranquility will be released nationally August 10th, 2010.
