Coors Light in the Community

Usually when we're out having a good time we dont think how we could be giving back to the community. It would be nice to know that the tasty food we are eating or the wonderful ice cold drink we are guzzling would in some way help someone else... or maybe thats just me lol.

Lately Ive been conscious of the products that I purchase- Is this good for the environment, is the company socially responsible, and so on. After all money is power and why would I want to empower someone who doesn't care about me and the causes I believe in?

Gypsy Soul for the past couple of months have teamed up with Coors Light to enhance the nightlife of Baltimore with music and art through Ear Candy with the Coors Light Music Lounge and Im proud to say that Coors Light gives back to the community through the companies it partners with!

Lydia Caesar, Jon Bibbs, & Grammy Award Nominee Melanie Fiona
at the October Ear Candy with the Coors Light Music Lounge

With the help of Coors Light one of Baltimore's largest party promoters, Events 4 Good People, was able to give over $15oo to charity and Gypsy Soul will be raising funds at our December Ear Candy for Heal A Woman To Heal A Nation and collecting coats for those in need.

So when your hanging with your friends at a local lounge or watching the Super Bowl with family think about ordering or picking up Coors Light and not only add that Rocky Mountain cold refreshing taste to your experience know that you're supporting a brand that supports our community!

The GRAMMYS GET IT!

Ive been wondering lately if the sweat, tears, time, money, and hard work that many around the country have been placing behind good music in the last couple of years were paying off or if it is all just in vain and ya know I think that there may be a glimmer of hope. I am proud to say that some very deserving artists have been nominated for a Grammy: The Foreign Exchange, Eric Roberson & Melanie Fiona!

These artists in some way or another Gypsy Soul has worked with and has had the honor of evangelizing about the awesome artistry that they produce. What makes each one so special to us?

The Foreign Exchange: Gypsy Soul was the first to bring them to Baltimore. We have a certain pride about being a leader in talent introduction in the DMV area and are happy to hold the title. The FE is a team that hustles hard with the help of all around superwoman Aimee Flint. The FE has introduced many to the sounds of other great artists such as YahZarah, Darien Brockington, Muhsinah, and Calitta Durand amongst others. Without the funds or resources of a label they have gotten their message to the masses, a message that produces beautiful music.

Eric Roberson: This man is the definition of fan appreciation! Not only is his music timeless but his humility and personable demeanor creates a lasting connection to all who meet him. You become a fan when you hear his music and a fanatic when you meet him. For years he's built up the Blue Erro movement and we are proud that the industry is acknowledging his innovative and universally appealing art. Gypsy Soul has had the privelidge of helping to coordinate an interview with him and Exacape The Matrix Online Magazine as well as our favorite DJ, DJ Phaze, spinning at his official release party in NYC.

Melanie Fiona: No matter how much label support an artists might have its not going to work if you dont have the goods to back it up! Melanie Fiona not only has the goods she has the GRACE and good sense to build bonds with her growing audience by visiting universities and taking the time to meet with fans. Gypsy Soul was also the first to host Melanie in Baltimore plus had the honor of hosting her iTunes release party at our October Ear Candy and we were quite surprised at her sweet nature. This nomination is fitting and we hope it will catapult her career because she certainly deserves it!

Thank you to the GRAMMYS for recognizing good music and hopefully helping to steer the industry into a more creative direction! If you havent purchased any of their albums do so TODAY, you wont regret it!
