There are going to be a lot of bittersweet moments at Gypsy Sally's over the coming couple of months, and Thursday night's Everyone Orchestra is high on that list. Since their Gypsy Sally's debut in 2015, Matt Butler and his rotating cast of stars from across the musical spectrum came back multiple times nearly every year. Their unique brand of improvisational performances have become something of a staple, earning must-see status.
The lineup joining Butler for this last Everyone Orchestra show at Gypsy Sally's before it closes its doors in January, will feature Robert Randolph, Claude Coleman Jr. (Ween), Vernon Reid (Living Colour), George Gekas (The Revivalists), Josh Schwartz (Turkuaz), Remember Jones, and Natalie Brooke.
In anticipation of their eleventh and final performance at this Georgetown waterfront venue, we took a trip down memory lane and collected all the past lineups, posters or promotional art, and recordings (where we could find them) for your pleasure! Head over to Gypsy Sally's website to get your tickets.
