Bio
THE GYPSY SONS are known around the states for having the best fans. Their own unique blend of rock music with lyrics like, "Man, I'd wrestle a gator and strangle a snake, just to take you home with me" and "I've been caught up for way too long, I need to feel the air of my country home," live with you long after the band has left the stage. Currently, you can catch them on tour in America in support of their self titled debut EP.
JODY PETTY - Related to NASCAR hero Richard Petty, this singer from North Carolina has his own sex appeal and charisma. His dream of fronting his own band materialized when he met John at Selma Studios. Using their free time to share a few beers and an acoustic guitar, their friendship grew, the songs flowed and The Gypsy Sons hit the ground running.
JOHNNY - Has had numerous successes with his different bands. He's been signed to major labels and has shared the stage with multi-platinum selling acts. This Virginia boy taps deep into his southern roots playing soulful guitar riffs that lay the groundwork for the foot stomping rockers and the sugary sweet ballads.
TOM VAUGHAN - What can you say about this prodigy that hasn't already been said and where on earth would you start. Tom is a VA native and boyhood friend of both John and Cecil. He is an extraordinary musician. He brings a magical low end chemical groove with his bass playing that propels the undercurrent of The Gypsy Sons. Did we mention that he's a wizard on the piano, banjo, dobro, keys, drums, cropdusters, fiddle and so many more instruments and gadgets that the rest of the guys told me to stop mentioning it...
CECIL FREEMAN - Is a hard hitting drummer with a back beat style that holds down the fort. His influences are John Bonham and Charlie Watts just to name a few. Cecil has played in several bands in Los Angeles and Northern Virgina for many years. He's toured all over the United States as well as Australia. Born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia, he lived in Los Angeles for several years before returning back to Virginia. I guess he had to leave home to find his roots!
