Based in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, we have entertained audiences at festivals, concerts, weddings, fairs, schools, radio broadcasts, dances and cruises throughout New England and Canada.
Gypsy Wranglers perform in Montmagny, Quebec.
Drawn from the traditions of such jazz greats as Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt, Bob Wills and Benny Goodman, our music is performed on fiddle, guitar, accordion, trombone, bass and drums, with appearances by blues harp, chromatic harmonica and mandolin. 
Our first two recordings, Step It Up & Go, and St. Tropez Cowboy, have received acclaim in local and national music reviews and we've just released our third CD: "Ain't Nobody Here but Us".
Regional favorites in the Northampton/Amherst area of Western Massachusetts, we've been voted "Favorite Swing Band" by the readers of the Valley Advocate arts weekly newspaper 6 years in a row (2001 - 2006)!

A few comments we've received:
Our audiences were delighted by their combination of high spirits and terrific musicianship, both at the concert stages and the dance stage. They brought swing and edge and color to our festival and a large charge of sheer fun.
R.D. Eno, Program Chair, Champlain Valley Folk Festival
The Gypsy Wranglers opened the festival in a workshop called "Expect the Unexpected: music that surprises and delights". That proved to be the perfect description of this musically exciting and fun loving band. The Wranglers delighted the Summerfest crowd.
