>>> FIRST RELEASE ON THE CRICK GYPSIES RECORD LABEL <<<
"Whether political or personal, Ewing sings in a traditional format about our crazy, mixed-up modern world in a way that listeners can easily identify with and latch on to. That may be Ewing's greatest appeal — his songs are more like a wise buddy talking to you at a bar, devoid of any didactic "I'm the singer, you're the listener" separation."
— Mike Breen, City Beat
Some of the places where The Crick Gypsies will play or have played Original American Music in the Cincinnati area. Our style includes roots, americana, folk originals and even a few covers. We are ready to play anytime, anywhere in the Greater Cincinnati region.

What City Beat said about us:
The Crick Gypsies
(Cincinnat) Americana
When Patrick Ewing isn't doing the solo acoustic thing, he's fronting the Crick Gypsies, a quartet that combines elements of '60s Pop and '70s Psych Folk and Country Rock. You can call it Americana if you need to, but Ewing's style is more personal, conversational and intimate, things that can be summarized in a simple genre tag.
Dig: Bob Dylan and Mike Nesmith busking on the steps of the gilded palace of sin.
