Gypsophilia
With: Adam Fine (double bass), Nick Wilkinson (rhythm guitar), Alec Frith (guitar), Gina Burgess (violin), Ross Burns (guitar), Matt Myer (trumpet).
Halifax’s Gypsophilia is definitely one of Canada’s most exciting young bands. Playing a seamless blend of Balkan-folk music and hip-swaying swing with a dynamic rock edge, they were initially inspired by Django Reinhardt. Their distinctive sound (on three CDs) now reflects the creativity of the group’s exciting and eclectic musicians.
