The Rock River Gypsies 

If you could combine David Grisman, Levon Helm and Steve Earle into one person, and give that person a guitar, what would he play?

Realistically, the creature that would result from that transformation would probably be a hideous six-armed chimera that would lumber around begging for the sweet release of death with all three of his mouths instead of playing the guitar.

For a more pleasant experience, we recommend listening to The Rock River Gypsies. Every member of the Gypsies contributes his or her unique voice both in harmonies and in songwriting, and the result is a rollicking pastiche of bluegrass, rock, and jazz that never fails to entertain. Born of jam sessions at the College of William and Mary, the Gypsies have grown over four years of playing together and developed a unique sound combining soulful southern melodies with jazz sensibilities. Their performances span the gamut from heartfelt originals to old time favorites as well as virtuosic solos on guitar, mandolin, saxophone and flute.
