Gypsy Soul
Gypsy Soul - Cilette Swann & Roman Morykit. Americana duo with 10 independent CDs, 1.5 M downloads and 60 critics choice awards. This show includes music from their new CD Mirabelle.
Cilette Swann and Roman Morykit first met in Edinburgh, Scotland, some 22 years ago, "and it was musical lust at first sight," she recalls. Vancouver, BC native Cilette, of Irish and South African descent, had been in Paris, singing in French jazz bands, while British-born Roman, with roots in the Ukraine and Italy, arrived from London, where his rock band, Raising Cane had just been dropped by a major label.
After a few months of writing and recording, the pair's professional relationship became romantic and soon the two were married and Gypsy Soul was born. Ten albums and half a million miles later, the two have forged a musical career that has taken them all over the world, building up a loyal audience that has enabled them to sell 1.5 million downloads internationally and 120,000 CDs in the U.S. alone. They've had their songs licensed in numerous TV shows including: Providence, Roswell, Felicity and others, airing globally. Their music has also been featured in the movies, After Sex and Quick Sand.
Anchored by lyricist Swann's crystal-clear and expressive vocals and composer/arranger Morykit's multi-instrumental musical ability, with a sound that ranges from full-on Americana heartland rock to country, blues, R&B, and soul, Gypsy Soul have graduated from playing art and wine festivals throughout the western states to headlining the prestigious 2,200-seat Britt Festival in their current home of Jacksonville in beautiful southern Oregon. They have had a Top 40 hit at AC radio with "Silent Tears," scored a Top 5 on the International New Age and Top 10 on the Folk charts. They have also won numerous independent music awards along the way, including International Acoustic Music Awards with "Soul Of A Girl," Independent Music Awards with "Angel From Montgomery," and Just Plain Folks with the album, Beneath The Covers: A Rediscovery.
Gypsy Soul are finalists in the Best Duo and Roots, Americana category of the International Acoustic Music Awards with their song Mirabelle from their new upcoming CD!
"Cilette Swann's voice is haunting and Roman Morykit's musicianship is superb. Their music stirs the soul and moves the spirit." - Monica Rizzo, PEOPLE Magazine
