The Texas Gypsies

Hello, Please see www.texasgypsies.com for upcoming shows...... Just thought I would update this and let you know of some nice awards and such the band received this year! ......................We were: Named "Best Western Swing Duo or Group" by The Academy of Western Artists......................and we recently been accepted into two prestigious arts programs — the National Endowment for the Arts American Masterpieces touring program and the Touring Artist Program of the Texas Commission on the Arts and now the Midwest Arts Alliance.......................Imagine this: you’re in a quaint Parisian café listening to a delightful acoustic jazz combo. The air is filled with songs, some familiar, some exotic and intriguing. You’re caught up in the music as lightning-fast guitar runs dart in and out of beautiful violin melodies. The rhythm guitarist is strumming his guitar with fiery abandon while the bassist slaps a rhythm that your feet can’t resist. With your partner, you stand and move to the dance floor. Suddenly you stumble and trip over a Shiner beer bottle. As if waking from a dream, you realize that this isn’t Paris, France—it’s Paris, Texas! The jazz combo isn’t just playing the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli, they’re also playing songs once made popular by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. Is this some crazy dream, or perhaps some bizarre parallel universe? Of course not. You’ve just entered the world of the Texas Gypsies.
