Gypsy's Kiss performs unique and energetic arrangements of their favorite tunes and songs, and features an eclectic mix of vocals, fiddle, flute, whistles, guitar, bass, harmonica, bodhran, djembe, and other percussion. The music of Gypsy’s Kiss ranges from rollicking jigs, reels, and polkas to enthusiastic songs and captivating ballads. MARCH 24, 2006 REVIEW OF "STRANGE NEWS" IN THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, BY ROBERT KINSLER: Gypsy's Kiss' "Strange News: Traditional Irish Music in California" truly celebrates the authentic beauty of traditional Irish music across 13 tracks. While Orange County's best-known Irish music-makers...have fused Irish folk with modern rock, the five members of Gypsy's Kiss faithfully create traditional acoustic Celtic music. "The Star of the County Down" boasts a haunting arrangement featuring Heidi Kuyper's melancholy-filled vocals and layered work courtesy of Heidi Halbur (whistles, flute) and Krysta Townsend (fiddle). The rest of the talented lineup includes singer-guitarist Kevin Moran and bassist-vocalist Fred Salmon. Check out the artist's website: http://www.gypsyskiss.us Track List: 1.
