"God bless the memory of the American way"

About Me

Formed in May 2006, Cypress has a little of everything you'd expect from a great rock band. Creating "down-to-earth songs with original and infectious vibes" (RAG Magazine), Cypress is spreading their roots from Miami to Palm Beach. With influences ranging from 60's Rock & Roll to modern Reggae, Fusion, and Metal, every song takes on its own life and identity becoming a single peice in an ever growing puzzle.Beginning with acoustic campfire jams in Ochopee, FL, and small house parties in Fort Lauderdale, Cypress has matured into a serious electric act branching out to Bars, Clubs, and Festivals all over South Florida and the fanbase just keeps growing. Their mix of Rock, Funk, Reggae, and Jazz lends itself to virtually any ear and their infectious energy will get you out of your seat and dancing till night's end. Believing music to be the greatest unifying force, Cypress brings an eclectic group of friends and fans to every show, all of them just looking for a Good Time and some great music."...Each member of Cypress possesses a powerful drive and an unmatched passion for their groovin' music." (RAG MAgazine) With that drive and passion, Cypress delivers an steadily growing repitoir of timeless originals speckled with an occasional cover tune and promises memorable shows for many years to come.Or send an email with your name to [email protected] to be put on our mailing list.
