Swing out with GypZbilly, exploring the American back-beat through the styles of the decades, from blues to zydeco to swing to rockabilly — with a touch of the Caribe — hence the name! Just a few of the people who inspire us: Louis Jordan, Ry Cooder, Django, The Wyos, Hot Club of Cowtown, Eddie Cochran. Don’t miss.
