Tickets: $15 advance $20 door.Roman Morykit (Producer/Multi-Instrumentalist/writer) and Cilette Swann (Singer/Lyricist) return to the Ashland Historic Armory to produce their 8th Annual Chistmas Benefit Concert for WinterSpring. The seasoned, international duo masterfully blends their distinctive Celtic and Americana Roots with a generous infusion of Blues, Jazz and Folk stylings. For this special event, Cilette and Roman bring in a local group of stellar musicians, Mikey Stevens, Daniel Sperry, Duane Whitcomb & Jeffrey Smith to make the evening shimmer!From their contemporary renditions of classic Christmas songs to their radio charting original works, Gypsy Soul's unforgettable performances appeal to a wide variety of tastes. Superb musicianship and exquisite vocals are the name of the game. Please check out their site for numerous song samples and live video footage. http://www.gypsysoul.comAttracting similar audiences to those of Peter Gabriel, Loreena McKennitt, Fleetwood Mac and Bonnie Raitt, Gypsy Soul has been hailed as "one of the most brilliantly instrumented and vocally adept bands alive and kicking," by the OC WEEKLY. Despite their unique, multi-cultural sound, Gypsy Soul has managed to earn a Top 40 hit at Adult Contemporary radio, the Top 5 position on the International New Age Charts and the number 8 slot on the Folk DJ Charts. They have also garnered "Critics Choice" in over 65 publications nationally.Searching for a musical soul mate, Canadian-born Swann traveled to Europe chasing her Celtic roots. After a few years singing in French jazz clubs, her quest took her to Scotland where she met world-class musician and producer, British-born Morykit. The duo has since recorded nine CDs over a decade. Through their unforgettable and soulful performances, these esteemed performers have sold nearly 100,000 CDs in the U.S. alone without label support. Their music has aired in numerous countries and over 120 times in films and TV shows including Providence, Felicity, Roswell, After Sex, Quicksand and others. Licensing deals from Japan to France helped solidify Gypsy Soul as a respected international group. Like an exquisite dessert, Gypsy Soul's eclectic sound and acoustic excellence is a rich, multi-layered experience that has been described by KLOS Radio as "Gourmet Music."This concert sells out, so please get your tickets early to avoid disappointment.For info:http://www.GypsySoul.com and http://www.WinterSpring.orghttp://www.myspace.com/gypsysoulmusic
