Happy New Year 2012! We are so excited for all that is to come this year - from our new album, the performance of our bass player and dear friend, Brian O'Connell's, rock opera Over the Line, new shows, new songs, and new experiences. Stay tuned to the website for new updates, live tracks from shows, and more info. Peace and Love to you all in 2012!
The Winter Solstice approaches - and the stillness of Winter offers a crisp clarity of intent and purpose. After a busy Fall of shows, we are back in studio 12e finishing our 3rd album, due to be released in January of 2012. We lots of great shows planned in 2012, from a New Years Day concert class with Roberto Lim at Back Bay Yoga, to a show at PA's Lounge in Somerville with brief Awakening to celebrate Kat's birthday! Here's to the season of goodwill toward all and peace on Earth - it's possible. Check out some new live tracks from a recent show at the Haven in JP, more live tracks to come! Let us know if you'd like to receive our e-mails with performance dates and updates. Peace ~ The Grass Gypsys 12/11
How 'bout a third album featuring members of our full band?! That's new, for sure!
Happy New Year, everyone! We are stoked about 2011 and all of its limitless potential. We've been recording with Scott Marucci (The Autumn Hollow Band, Millis Pride) at Studio 12-E in Waltham, MA. and the tracks are sounding incredible. Joined by members of our full band, Brian O'Connell (Bass, Touch Guitar), Kevin Silvia (Vocals), and Dave Scandurra (Drums, Percussion, Vocals), the album has nine tunes written between the years of 2007-2010, and continues to expand upon themes of Love, Adventure, The Road, Postive Change, and Concscious Expansion! Here's the track list:
Love Song - Moonlight Blue - Bertha - Memphis - The Ballad of Jim & Di (Only Want to be With You) - This Mystery - Good Friends - Hold Back the Grey - Higher
And the title....The Grass Gypsys ~ Symbol Songs

And even though it's all happening in the blink of an eye, take 10 minutes, throw a frisbee, or it might sound cliche, but smell the roses. Have you? They're beautiful.
Yes, welcome March, for sure, and welcome to our website, it's great that your here! We're just a few short weeks from longer days, warmer Sun, and general good vibes.

Alright! Glad you made it over to our new home within the deep realms of cyberspace. Hope you're digging it, we certainly are, so you might notice a few changes from time to time as we get comfortable with the space. You know, it's like moving, you're not quite sure how that little table is going to fit in that nook, but you have a vision. Make sense? So keep coming back, you might get some new video or live tracks from a show, or some lyrics to a favorite song. Just don't be a stranger, and drop us a line. Good things to come! Peace!
