Thanks to (LA Music Critic Founder) Robert Leggett for recognizing and involving Papermoon Gypsys in these awards.”

“Excellent musicians performing exemplary blues-rock music together.”

The dynamic group’s live show at The Mint in Los Angeles was recently reviewed by national publication Music Connection, who wrote,”Papermoon Gypsys are one of those groups that American music relies upon heavily often without acknowledging it……Big Brother and the Holding Company meets The Commitments…perfectly enjoyable…singer Lexi G has a powerful set of pipes..guitarist Kenny ‘Big Daddy’ Williams is a fun guitarist, alternating trad blues licks with elaborate riffs…they sound great and are fun to watch.”

What The Press Is Saying About…Papermoon Gypsys

“Lexi G and her soulful tones steal the show on ’70’s-style blues-rockers like “Love Medication,” the Allman-esque “It’s Complicated” and the mystic, East Indian psychedelia of “Halls of Chandrian.”

“On ‘Halls of Chandrian’ Lexi G’s vocals are bright and cultured, while guitarist (Kenny) Williams sprinkles hints of sitar-like sounds throughout. ‘She’s Tough’ is right out of Elmore James’ music stream, and Williams is tight on the slide with a boogie groove. Nice!

BMANS BLUES REPORT

“Kenny Williams plays guitar and handles some of the vocals, and when he takes a lead, it drives hard. Lexi G handles both rough bar-flavored growls and smooth-as-silk vocals, and anytime she steps behind a microphone is the start of an enjoyable journey. A ton of promise for the future.”

“They have the grit, the raw power, and the excitement to get the crowds going and give them a show they will never forget.”
