A new album...the first ever GYPSYBILLY™ album is now finished! The whole CD is now available at CD Baby and MP3s on iTunes (other major digital distributors to follow soon). Brilliant hearts and minds contributed to the birth of the first-ever Gypsybilly™ album…Bernie Dresel on drums, who has worked with international singers and musicians such as, Brian Setzer, Ray Charles, Christina Aguilera, B.B.King, Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band; John “Spazz” Hatton on King Doublebass, who played with Brian Setzer, Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, Carmen Mc Rae; Grammy Award winner Charlie Bisharat on violin who can be heard on Rod Stewart, Elton John, Rascal Flatts, Sheryl Crow and Strunz & Farah recordings.

The album also features the sleek pedal steel playing of Chris Allen Burke and the sensitive accordion touch of Gigi Lynn Rabe, the mixing expertise of two-time Grammy Award winner Anton Pushansky (Santana, Ozomatli), the engineering greatness of Frank Rosato (Robben Ford, Steve Lukather, Sheryl Crow), and David Williams of Melrose Mastering for the final touch.

Influences

What is Gypsybilly™?

Gypsybilly™, created by The Vignatis, blends English and French vocals with GYPSY orchestration including acoustic guitar, clarinet, accordion and violin, swingin’ drivin’ rockin’ drum beats with modern/vintage instrumentation of electric guitar and upright slap bass as used in Rock-a-BILLY. In addition, the Southern twang of honky tonk-esque piano and pedal steel season the overall sound.

Press Reviews

"...Inventing a new genre of music called "Gypsybilly", the L.A. based Vignatis are making lots of new friends with their 2009 CD.... Birth Of The "Gypsybilly" is a cool little CD for fans of swing guitar greats,, from ‘50s rocker Scotty Moore to the 2000 sounds of Brian Setzer."
Music Web Express 3000(20th Century Guitar Mag)

"Django meets Scotty Moore in Fabrice and Tracy Vignati's signature Gypsybilly. With the instrumentation of Gypsy Jazz - highlighted by hot and stylish Django-esque runs - this is a cross-cultural melting pot au feu.Fun and Funky" MD/Vintage Guitar Mag/June 2009
