Gypsy Mandolin has one of the
top mandolin players in Colorado, Charlie Provenza, leading
the band. Gypsy Mandolin can range from one to four talented
players, but the most popular is its versatile trio, which
consists of guitar, mandolin, and fiddle. Their repertoire
is acoustic sets of jazz, bluegrass, and a European flare
that comes to mind with the word "gypsy."
“Charlie Provenza is one of the best
known musicians in the West. He was the National Mandolin
champ at Winfield in 1988, and he has won the Telluride and
Rockygrass Mandolin Championships 6 times. He plays with
great wit and imagination and is a walking encyclopedia of
mandolin knowledge in a variety of musical styles. Throughout
the mando world, Charlie is considered to be one of the handful
of giants.” - David
McCarty - Mandolin Magazine
“Provenza is one of the bright stars of the
mandolin world in my opinion” -
