The Hillbilly Gypsies


The Hillbilly Gypsies are a West Virginia native string band who specialize in playing their own homegrown style of Appalachian old time music, mixed with a hard drivin' bluegrass sound. In addition to their original material, The Hillbilly Gypsies play an eclectic mix of traditional and quite often, not-so- traditional bluegrass standards and catchy old fiddle tunes.

Now in their third year of playing together, the Halftime String Band continues to diversify their sound, developing original material and borrowing from a variety of musicians and styles.  Despite their bluegrass/newgrass foundation, they sometimes tend to leak and lapse into other musical directions just for fun.
