Gypsophilia

Halifax-based Gypsophilia is a group of seven young performers whose music straddles the jazz and indie worlds. The band started in 2004 as a Django Reinhardt tribute, but soon found itself mixing gypsy jazz with klezmer, funk, classical music, and indie rock, composing original music, and selling out shows all over Canada.

Gypsophilia’s raucous mash-up of original sounds is in full force on their third album Constellation, the band’s most polished and inspired effort yet.

In recent years the band’s exuberant live shows have made them an audience favourite at major festivals and small clubs alike. With their serious musicianship, humour and showmanship they are capable of enchanting a sit-down crowd one moment, and having people up dancing, clapping and singing the next.

Gypsophilia is Adam Steven Fine on double bass, Alec Codere Frith on guitar and percussion, Gina Burgess on violin, Matthew William Myer on trumpet, organ and percussion, Nicholas Peter Wilkinson on rhythm guitar and percussion, Ross Llewelyn Burns on guitar and percussion and Sageev Steve Oore on keyboards.
