Gypsy Ellise
GypsyElliseTheRoyalBlues.com
Gypsy Elise is the rarest form of vocalist; a beautiful female contralto~ With her 3.5 octaves, and silken, throaty lower range, occasionally Milady Gypsy is mistaken for a male singer. Nothing is further from the truth! And then...you see her... it becomes crystal clear that she is not only 100% gorgeous female vocalist, she is keyboardist Ryan De Sade Way's wife and is also the very proud Mama to two beautiful children, 33 years apart!. Gypsy Elise is a force of nature, a super-charged rose to be reckoned with!
Refining her vocals and assuming her position as troubadour, Gypsy Elise, with the aid of her Royal Blues, vividly captures the mysterious chambers of human emotion when reciting a torch or blues ballad. Together their sound recalls Gypsy's transient kindred with a whimsical bohemian, yet mesmerizing sensual mash-up of blues, R&B, jazz, rock, and funk. Their repertoire ranges from soft, dulcet melodies to psychedelic powered rock, but invariably provokes a teeming crowd from tears to twinkle-toes.

Art Carter
Art Carter is an American “Singer/Songwriter/Producer/Entertainer. His music blends Country/Rock/Blues/Reggae/Gospel, and squarely fits in the category of“Americana/Country.”
Growing up, I listened to artists like “Billy Joel”, or Motown Greats like the “Temptations.”Since I am originally from New York, I mostly performed Rock’n-roll & R&B. But I would always hear something on the radio by Ronnie Milsap or Hank Williams Jr. blending Country, Rock, and R&B that drew my attention and that I really liked.
When I moved to Florida I got exposed to “Garth Brooks”, and loved it. That is why my music is a blend of Country, Rock, and R&B”, or what is called “Americana.” That is what I am.
I have opened for Country Legend Loretta Lynn, as well as been in the opening line up for Canadian Country Band Emerson Drive.
Songs from my previous two studio album releases “UNBOUND” & “Freedom Rains” have chart as high as #2 for individual countries on the ECMA Charts (European Country Music Association.)
