Legendary guitarist John Tropea leads an All-Star Band on a musical journey through the lifework of one of the most influential and unusual artists of our time, Sir Van Morrison.
Well known for hiring, only the top studio musicians, Morrison called on the highly regarded guitarist when recording Astral Weeks, Vedon Fleece and St. Dominic’s Preview. Tropea has recorded with hundreds of artists including John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Laura Nyro, James Brown, Bonnie Raitt, Chuck Mangione, Chaka Kahn, Aretha Franklin, Harry Chapin, Deodato, Bo Diddley, Ringo Starr, and Yoko Ono.
Gypsy Souls, a stellar 12-piece ensemble of musical nobility featuring ‘Crooner’ Pat Guadagno, ‘Blues Brother’ Rob Paparozzi, ‘Musical Cosmopolite’ Michael Ghegan, Burlap to Cashmere’s Steve Delopoulos, and Maximum Horns, will take you Into the Mystic and beyond.
Anyone who has been to one of Pat Guadagno’s theatrical musical celebrations, BobFest (Bob Dylan), The Heart of Saturday Night (Tom Waits), 100 Years of Hank (Hank Williams) Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen) or Souvenirs (John Prine), knows to expect a selective harvest of musical gems from Sir Van’s prolific catalog, delivered with passion and reverence that has become Guadagno’s trademark.
You will be Healed!
