Besides Terry, the Land Of Gypsies consists of producer and bassist Fabrizio Grossi (Glenn Hughes, Supersonic Blues Machine, Eric Gales, etc.), Serge Simic on guitar (The Slam, Supersonic Blues Machine) and Tony Morra on drums.
Land Of Gypsies recently released their fantastic, self titled 11-track debut record on Frontiers music. If you are of fan of well-crafted melodic songs, and enjoy bands such as Foreigner, Bad Company and Whitesnake, you will love the Land Of Gypsies.
