American Gypsy Band

American Gypsy Band was formed in late 2011 and has lead to the release of two original albums. The first simply entitled American Gypsy was released in late August. 2012. Their follow up album , Busted Knuckle Breakdown was just released in March 2014. The Gypsies consist of Erik Hanchey(vocals),Brent Samperi (bass),Jonas Lorence(guitar) and Marty Mack(drums.) When the four gypsies met they were involved with other bands in the Austin area. For the most part cover bands and party bands. At that time Javi Moctezuma was still on drums and his work is featured on both albums. From their first discussion of starting a new project they knew they were bound for something bigger and new original material was on the horizon. And the material just keeps on flowing. Marty Mack joined the band officially in March of 2014. Paul Ramsey took his place on drums in 2015 and has been a fine addition. Michael Ingalls joined the band in March of 2017 on lead guitar after the announced departure of founding member Jonas Lorence. Their music is a brilliant hybrid of Outlaw Country, 70's & 90's rock, and good old fashioned Rhythm and Blues. They can be found playing all over the Central Texas and Hill country area and are anxious to take their act further down the road.
