Gypsy Gary pours his travels, trials and tribulations into his country-tinged rock. Reviewers have compared his guitar work and arrangements to Neil Young and his vocal style to Gordon Lightfoot. He was featured on the July 2005 cover of Downriver Review. And while they had difficulty pinning his songs down to a specific genre, the judges of the Make a Star contest have recognized his songs in several categories.

Gary seems to openly defy attempts at categorization. Rock and roll is always the base (he has played in bands that opened for the likes of Ted Nugent and Bob Segar), but consider the unexpected yet sweet string section blended into the folk/rock instrumental "Acoustic Cruise." Consider also the surprising smoothness of his bittersweet ballad "The Kiss," with such memorable lines as "... I’m not into games, living with you was like livin’ in an arcade."

Wistful songs like "Songs For Me" hearken back to his wilder days. He learned about the music business while being signed to a recording contract with LA’s Jetspeed Records. While recordin gthe 2004 CD Sinners and Liars with his former band Gypsy Blood, he learned his way around a recording studio. He learned about insuring his music equipment when a club he was playing burned down, destroying everything but his favorite guitar. He knows that music can keep him sane through all of life’s ups and downs (including wives, kids, and divorces).

A member of ASCAP, The Songwriters Guild of America, and The Nashville Songwriters Association, Gary is now focusing on publishing, writing for radio and TV/film soundtracks. He publishes through his own Gypsy Gary Publishing Company and makes most of his music available for free through his web site (www.gypsygary.com), a generous move greatly appreciated by the many fans who sign his guestbook.
