Nashville’s Blackfoot Gypsies apply the same loose and funky aesthetic to their songwriting as they do to their wardrobe choices. For proof, check out the quartet’s recently released music video (below) for “Don’t Know About You” — a pure rock ‘n’ roll song delivered with a slight southern twang and Dylan-style rasp by a frontman in endearingly awkward American flag print shorts.
The band plays Tiger Mountain this Saturday, June 13, with doors at 9 p.m. Tickets are $5 per person. Visit https://www.facebook.com/tigermountainthirstparlour for more information.
More from the band’s website:
The Blackfoot Gypsies have created a place that dreamers, night flyers, and adventure seekers can gather and embrace the triumphant harmony of spirit and music made by humans, for humans.
With 4 years, 4 releases, and countless miles under their belt as a 2 piece band, Zack Murphy and Matthew Paige have called on fellow brethren Dylan Whitlow (bass) and Ollie Dogg (harmonica) to join forces and help expand their already wide spectrum of American music. The upcoming release of the band’s second full length LP, Handle It, serves as the debut of The Blackfoot Gypsies as a fullforce four piece band.
Infusing the honest roots of blues and the deep secrets of real country music, The Blackfoot Gypsies create a rock ‘n’ roll pace and angst that keep your heart alive, all while pounding to a true Nashville beat. The swirling vortex of their records and live show welcome you into a world where linking arms with friends and strangers keeps your head far above the clouds.
In a world where all too often “music” is made simply to keep the masses happy, the Gypsies make music you can believe in, not just fall for.
