Gypsy Soul

The distinctive duo GYPSY SOUL began 21 years ago in Scotland, UK. It was there that Roman Morykit (UK) and Cilette Swann (Canada/USA) made a promise to each other to make both their lives and their living from their art. Their soulful blend of Roots Rock, Blues and Jazz helps inform both their message and sound which is at once, universal and intimate; familiar yet otherworldly.

Over the past two decades, the duo has had a Top 40 hit with Silent Tears and has won both the International Acoustic Music Awards and The Independent Music Awards. They've opened for The Doobie Brothers and Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians and been featured on compilations with Shawn Colvin, Keb Mo and Aimee Mann. In addition to earning over 1.5 million downloads, their songs have been placed in hit TV shows and motion pictures such as Providence, Felicity, 90210, Roswell, After Sex and Quick Sand among others.

"Any discussion of todays finest female vocalists must include Cilette Swann, says Paul Freeman of THE MERCURY NEWS. "Her vocals, intimate lyrics and their elegant harmonies combined with composer/arranger Roman Morykits multi-instrumental virtuosity, will transport even the most jaded listener to another place.

Like its creators, Gypsy Souls songs, stories and wit are much like fine fusion cuisine (passionate) Italian, (feisty) Irish, (exotic) South African and (traditional) Ukrainian to be precise. As with any work of art, their music is born from heartache and determination brewing with many textures, nuance and flavors. Its that amalgam of their unique upbringings and prodigious talent that creates their genre-defying sound, unparalleled performances and memorable narratives.

Their immigrant's story combined with their independent ethos has merited Gypsy Soul a permanent place in the hearts of their fans and continued media recognition including 70 "Critics Picks. With over 1,000 shows and half a million miles under their belts, its clear this duo has earned their bohemian, road-warrior stripes.
