Gypsy Red, a progressive folk band from Parish, NY have over 80 original songs to their credit. Their music chronicles the endless journey of the spirit, ever seeking its way home. Spirit breaks free with guitarist John Sardella's enchanting refrains on his melodic 12-string acustic guitar. The music spirals and soars with passionate jubilation through the expressive and heartfelt voice of Cherie Sardella, lead vocalist.
The band creates a unique blend of spirited folk sound that appears to be a fusion of ageless wisdom and culture in a modern context. Several local musicians add a unique touch when they join the duo. The most recent addition is Cherie's eldest son, Karl Lavaway. Karl has been a musician since fourth grade. His primary instrument is the saxaphone; but he still plays an awesome bass.
In 1993, Cherie asked John to put a poem she had written to music. This endeavor gave birth to Gypsy Red. Since that time, they have played at festivals, coffeehouses and cultural events throughout New York and Canada appearing with artists such as Joanne Shenendoah, Bill Miller, Keith Secola, Ulali, Richie Havens and Jamie Notarthomas.
