Positions
The Mojo Gypsies
Founder, guitarist, vocalist, and principal songwriter
The Mojo Gypsies (http://www.mojogypsies.com) are veterans from several central NJ and Philly-area bands, who like to have some fun and get folks up dancing! At a Gypsies gig, you’re likely to hear songs by such classic blues artists as T-Bone Walker, Ray Charles, Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson, Louis Jordan, Freddie King and Albert Collins, as well as music from contemporary blues performers including Little Charlie and the Nightcats, Rick Estrin, Rod Piazza, Kid Ramos, Paul DeLay, and James Harman. The Lineup Dave “The Professor” Orban, hailing from Trenton, NJ, fronts the band on guitar and vocals. Mike Scott, from Langhorne, PA, is on tenor sax, while Flourtown, PA resident Flourtown Fats (aka Jeff Michael) plays electric and upright bass. Finally, Philly resident Mark Shewchuk keeps the beat going on drums and percussion. Never ones to shirk from a challenge, the Gypsies pride themselves in rising to any musical occasion, from small, intimate gatherings to large, outdoor festivals. Available as an “unplugged” duo or trio, or as a four- or five-piece combo, the Mojo Gypsies are sure to please even the most discriminating of blues and r&b afficionados.
