Blackfoot Gypsies Bio
Nashville’s Blackfoot Gypsies are a rock ’n’ roll band—straight up, no modifiers necessary. With four years, four releases, and countless miles under their belt as a two-piece guitar & drums powerhouse, Zack Murphy and
Matthew Paige have recently added fellow brethren Dylan Whitlow (bass) and Ollie “Dogg” Horton (harmonica), bolstering their passionate, careening, undeniably American sound. Seeing the band live is like watching someone cling to a fire hose at full blast or dig their heels in atop a thrashing mechanical bull… holding on for dear life, slowly guiding and reacting to forces at the brink of their control, somehow coming up aces in the end.
The band’s second full-length LP, Handle It (coming spring 2015), is Blackfoot Gypsies’ debut as a full-throttle four piece. Drawing inspiration from the down-home roots of the Delta blues and the foreboding ghosts of country music’s past, Murphy, Paige & Co. go to the same deep well as Zeppelin, the Stones & The Faces did before them, coming up with a bucketful of angsty rock ‘n’ roll that’ll jolt your flat lined heart back into perfect rhythm. Rock is dead? The Blackfoot Gypsies call bullshit. They’re living proof it’s alive and well.
Some quotes regarding their performances:
“Fine music packaged in retro-sexy feathers, hair, hats, animal skins, beads, fringe. … Blackfoot Gypsies construct songs that make you want to both ponder their relatable lyrics and shake your ass until your cheeks are numb.” – No Country for New Nashville
“Meaty, swaggering and devoid of irony.” – Nashville Scene
“Making Keith Richards’ riffs sound clean by comparison.” – Creative Loafing
“Future rock & roll icons.” – Soundstamp
“May cause rowdiness and an urge to drink Jack & waters until your lights go out.” – The Angry Grad
“The bombast of reckless experimentation with unmarked pharmacy bottles from grandma’s medicine cabinet, tempered with a sturdy appreciation for the bluesier side of late, late sixties rock ’n’ roll.” – The Downcast
“Those outlaw gypsies horsewhipped us all the way to the Deep South–harmonicas blazing. War paint melts when your face gets rocked up. By the end of the show, something always gets busted or broken. Blood and tufts of fur.” – No Country for New Nashville.
