About the Artist

Charles Ray “Gypsy” Mitchell was born in Dallas, TX in 1952. At the age of 17, he formed the innovative gospel funk group The Relatives with Rev. Gean West and Tommie West, co-writing, arranging, and playing guitar on their first two singles. Gypsy’s unique guitar sound can be attributed to an open tuning, effects pedals, and a singular synthesis of the styles of his greatest heroes: Wes Montgomery, Jimi Hendrix and Cal Valentine. He worked as a guitarist for Buddy Ace for several years in the mid-80s, and shared the stage with Joe Simon, Johnnie Taylor and Little Milton. In 2021, after being visited by the late Rev. Gean West in a dream, he was inspired to share a lifetime of original compositions with Zach Ernst and Matthew Strmiska (founding members of Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears). His debut album “Love Is… Infinite” will be released on 11/15/24 via Modulor Music (FR).
