Gypsy Hill Reunion is a band formed in 2004 by a group of studio musicians who have been playing together, in one band or another, since 1987. Having its original roots in a jam-band named The Sons of Sound, formed in Fairfax, Virginia in the late 1980s, the members of Gypsy Hill Reunion live in 6 different states, including Rhode Island, Virginia, North Carolina, Washington state, Georgia and Arizona. The original members of the Sons of Sound, including Hector Guiterrez, Jack Ryan, Dennis Flanders, Kelly Miller, Jack "Herb" Lawrence, and Chris Okay met, became close personal friends, and began playing music together because they loved playing music together. They are still best friends, and they still play music together (UPDATE: We found Herb, he's living in Richmond. and he's been in touch). Their enduring love for playing live music -- rock and blues music, especially the "second-tier" 70s rock bands, and the later bands that lived and evoked that music (The Black Crowes, The Allman Brothers, Robin Trower, Pat Travers, Steely Dan, Robert Cray, The Grateful Dead) -- has included a long-standing tradition of band "reunions" occurring frequently over the years, in spite of careers, families, babies, financial difficulties, and the normal vagaries of everyday life.
