Biography
The Urban Gypsies sound is "Gumbo Rock" a blend of their influences from rock, to soul, and the music melting pot of the New Orleans sound. Urban Gypsies began playing in the New Orleans area in 1997. The band members have years of playing in clubs from Tipitania's to Jazzfest. This original music Rock and R&B band is a Louisiana Gumbo with a taste of New Orleans. Take all of the Urban Gypsies, and their influences, and you get music with a groove, vocal harmony, and even on occasion an edge of spice. You can hear New Orleans in some of the keys, blues and even Latin rhythm in their sound. Mix it all up and you get the Urban Gypsies.
It’s time to get on the Caravan and hear…
