Gypsy Soul

This international duo's music is not genre specific but masterfully blends folk rock and soul with a generous infusion of blues and jazz stylings to create a sound of their own. Cilette Swann's (Canadian/US) exquisitely ethereal, yet powerful vocals are partnered with Roman Morykit's (UK) masterful fretless bass and innovative guitar counterpoint. Compared by critics to artists such as Sheryl Crow, Coldplay and Eva Cassidy, these independent mavericks have produced ten critically acclaimed CD and a full concert DVD entitled, Live at Triple Door. Through their relentless touring and unforgettable performances, these esteemed performers have sold over 115,000 CDs in the U.S. alone without label support. Their music has aired in numerous countries and over 120 times in films and TV shows including Providence, Felicity, Roswell, After Sex, Quicksand and others.
Gypsy Soul recently celebrated the release of their 10th CD, Grace and Tranquility with their full six-piece band by headlining the Britt Pavilion in Southern Oregon and garnering nearly 1,000 attendees. Featuring such marquee artists as Bonnie Raitt, Alison Krauss, Tracy Chapman, Chris Isaak and others, Cilette and Roman were honored to be the first independent band to ever headline this prestigious venue. From 200-2,000 seat theatres, Gypsy Soul leaves an indelible mark on its audiences.
