Slim-Gypsy-Baggage

From the SW coast of MI, Slim Gypsy Baggage originally came to be when performing musicians, Morgan Ingle (vocal/rhythm guitar) and Matt Smith (vocal/bass) were introduced to Cam Mammina (lead guitar). The musical combination was a magical blend that had to be explored. In time, came the addition of Scott Christie (drums), who provides the foundational beats for SGB. Friendships are what have rooted this band together and brought them together in the first place as well as the common interest in music. Though the individuals that make up this outfit are randomly different and come from varied backgrounds in extensive musical studies, it is the culmination of the group as a whole that creates their creative and vibrant sound.

T.Y.P.O

TYPO is a group of five talented musicians who have been long time friends. With musical careers spanning more than 25 years each, TYPO’s members have played in several local and regional bands. Yet through their many experiences, they return to join forces, bringing together expertise in several genres of music.  If you’ve recently seen TYPO be sure to check out the photo gallery section of our Facebook page at TYPOlive
