Bio
Red Vinyl Gypsies is an original alternative/poppunk band out of Knoxville Tennessee. In 2017 the band started out as a husband/wife duo with Julie Boisseau-Craig - vocals and lyrics and Jimi Craig - guitarist and songwriter. Red Vinyl Gypsies was a result of their previous band Something Wicked going separate ways. They had some success with Something Wicked, opening for Blackfoot, Wayland and Super Bob between 2014 and 2017. After the break up they decided to change it up and Red Vinyl Gypsies was born.
Julie grew up in Southern California and was heavily influenced by the 60's, 70's & 80's, from hairbands to the punk scene. Jimi Craig grew up in upstate New York and was also influenced by the same decades with a specific love of hairbands, punk and heavy metal. Those influences have formed the Red Vinyl Gypsies eclectic sound.
In 2019 they were joined Charles Trentham - bass and in 2020 by Michael McLaughlin-drums. Now more dynamic than ever, Red Vinyl Gypsies has begun to grow an international following.
In July 2019 Red Vinyl Gypsies embarked on their greatest adventure to date. Their "California or Bust Tour 2019" had them playing in cities across the USA, with their biggest show to date being at the world famous Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles, California, where they opened for Pretty Boy Floyd! They will be returning to the Whisky July 10, 2020 to once again open for Pretty Boy Floyd and Molly Vamp.
New songs are in the works and Red Vinyl Gypsies hopes to have their second album ready for release in spring of 2020.
