BIOGRAPHY:
Gypsy Soul create an unforgettable musical landscape that is as rootsy as it is atmospheric and haunting. Cilette Swann's exquisitely powerful vocals lead, while partner Roman Morykit balances the band's ethereal
edge with inspired bass and guitar counterpoint. Cilette writes lyrical tales with impassioned insight and Roman creates the evocative musical tapestry, which the two effortlessly marry. Roman, an experienced producer with fourteen CDs to his credit, handles all of the production and most of the instrumentation for Gypsy Soul's CDs.
Their extraordinary music and unique sound has been likened to artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Eva Cassidy, Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Allison Kraus, Shawn Colvin and Loreena McKennitt for its depth and beauty.
The two met in Scotland and have traveled the world together for 13 years. Between the two of them, the duo has lived in five different countries, thus, bringing to their music, the influences of many cultures. Gypsy Soul's inspiration also stems from their diverse family roots: Roman is British, of Italian and Ukrainian decent, while Canadian-born
Cilette's heritage is Irish and South African. Their eclectic "Triple A" sound reflects this diversity and is categorized as "World/Acoustic-Rock" as often as it is called "Celtic/Americana".
Of their eight critically acclaimed CDs, Gypsy Soul have sold over 75,000 CDs independently without distribution. Through the band's relentless touring they have garnered enormous regional support through fans, media and radio. Their songs have been heard on over 900 radio stations nationwide and abroad.

author: GuapaThis is absolutely the best CD ever...i have all of Gypsy Soul's CD's and this is my favorite...you have to get it!
This CD you'll want to play over and over again! Love to sing? You will find you
author: Donna AddisWho? Can so relate, universal questions of life, we all ask Are we doing this LIFE gig right? What legacy have we left behind? Cryin'Colours starts out A'capela in harmony that is chilling and takes you through the journey of seeing someone from your past after years who has not grown or changed. Nights in White Satin..made me wish for a 'long version'..I didn't want the song to end. All the songs are brilliantly done and very inspirational to me as a musician and artist. Looking forward to MORE CD's of Gypsy Soul's ORIGINALS! I am feeding from your Fire! :)
Wow!

author: SuzonneHonestly, I can't find words good enough to do this CD justice. Scarborough Fair is a very different, but wonderful version of the song. The entire CD is fantastic, but I'll have to say the song Who? is my favorite of all. Pleeease endulge yourself and do Cilette & Roman a favor...BUY THIS CD! You'll never know what you're missing if you don't.

Absolute Magic!
author: KellyCilette Swann's voice is magical. Roman Morykit's playing is phenomenal. Buy this CD - you owe it to yourself to experience truly great music!
From top to bottom...breathtaking!
author: Scott SakuraiFrom the opening track to the haunting last cut, Superstition Highway has something to satisfy every palette. A beautiful, respectful cover of Nights in White Satin that would impress any Moody Blues fan. A number of original compositions, in particular Who and Where You Are highlight the album and feature Cilette Swann's gorgeous vocals and Roman Morykit's luscious bass. A sassy Romeo's Prey and a moving cover of Scarborough Fair round out the disk, along with two delicate instrumentals finely crafted by Morykit. Words will never express the sheer beauty of this album...I falter in my praise. My best recommendation is to buy this disk and see for yourself how impressed you can be!
