About Me |
|
| The Travelin' Song The Grass Gypsys are an independant, acoustic fusion band from Boston with a signature sound fouled by the power of two. Husband & wife musical duo, Justin and Colleen Kleya, blend styles from American Roots music: Jazz, Blues, Rock n' Roll, Folk, R&B & World; into their catalog of original music and cover songs. They have been compared tp Tuck & Patti, Nora Jones, & Fleetwood Mac. Colleen's rich and charismatic vocals and Justin's expressive, finger-style guitar playing create a sound that is fresh and entertaining for all ages. The Grass Gypsys have been described as “…a joy to witness…” “…soul and serenity…” and “...consummate musicians.” The Grass Gypsys got their start in Boston, MA in 2005 and have been touring across the United States since 2006, playing over 200 shows in 2008 alone. They have recorded two full-length, self-released albums: "Legend's, Myth's, & Fairytales" (2006) & "Lesson's From Eden" (2008), and are in the process of recording their third album and planning for fourth cross-country tour.For Booking info contact: thegrassgypsys@hotmail.com View The Grass Gypsys's EPK |
