Details:
Kenny Willams, guitar, vocals, and principal songwriter has been described by noted bluesman Joe Louis Walker as "the kind of guitar player that comes along once in a lifetime." Kenny plays that clean fender style, with a good dose of snotty Southern fried attitude that just cuts right through you. His combinations of searing sustain and moody chord work is truly showcased in his gripping compositions. Lyrically, and to a greater extent vocally, his writing is even more haunting. A Northern California native, playing and singing 35 years, Kenny can deeply communicate his broad life experience with a conviction that few could hope to match. He has been known to freeze an entire venue, holding an audience completely spellbound until he was finished. Kenny has performed with Ronnie Montrose, Joe Louis Walker, Elvin Bishop, Robin Trower, Foghat, Robin Ford, Molly Hatchet, and Jeff Heally and now on the road leading Crazy Texas Gypsies.

The Rhythm section of Crazy Texas Gypsies is where they get their incredible drive. Anchored by bass player, backup vocalist, and Milwaukee native Kevin Fraser, a 20 year veteran of numerous sessions, including such luminaries as Bonnie Raitt, Ansley Dunbar, Eddie Money, Johnny Barbata (Jefferson Starship), Mike Hossack (Doobie Bros.), Kevin has also shared the stage with the greats opening for Dave Mason, Dan Hicks, Pat Simmons, and Gene Parsons among many others.


Locking down the groove with Kevin is Gypsy, drummer Jerry Coleman. Jerry was raised in a musical family in Sacramento,Ca. He began playing drums in his father's band at the age of 14, moving on to his own projects. Jerry has preformed with local bands Ledfoot and Blind Date, as well as Rob Hannah and the very successful AC/DC cover band Sin City. Jerry's playing kick starts Crazy Texas Gypsies into overdrive.

Rounding out the band of Gypsies is keyboardist Bob Cancro. A classically trained pianist, Bob diverged into jazz study, and then into progressive multi-keyboards and synthesizers, embracing the Hammond B-3 as his foundation instrument. Performing for 35 years, a New York native and a veteran of over 20 years in the New York Studio scene, Bob has played, recorded, programmed, and toured with Roger Daltrey, Foreigner, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Vaughn, Nile Rodgers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, REO Speedwagon, Michael Bolton, Cissy Houston, Jan Hammer, Al DiMeola.
