Occidental Gypsy plays an exhilarating blend of gypsy swing, jazz and world music that enraptures the listener with a complex acoustic sound, burnished by smooth vocals reminiscent of the first era of swing. Hailing from the New England, Occidental Gypsy plays a dynamic, multi-genre mix of original vocal and instrumental pieces. And they’ve been recognized for notable covers like a gypsyfied take on Michael Jacksons Thriller. The Boston Globe has named them a “Best Bet for Weekend Entertainment”, and musician David Bromberg said of the group…”Great singing, fantastic guitar and violin work, with high energy originals that leave the crowd crazy. An awesome band.”
