The Gypsy Nomads are New York's premier NeoMedieval Rock Duo. Blending Gypsy, Celtic, Medieval and Rock styles, it features songwriter, artist and veteran of the punk scene Scott Helland on guitar, drums, programmed and live loops and French artist/dancer Samantha Stephenson on vocals, percussion and drums. The Gypsy Nomads' performance is a whirlwind of guitars, tambourines, toms and tape loops and ranges from dynamic guitar anthems, pounding drum jams and original french ballads with a gypsy flair. They mix the modern and medieval creating a visually evoking sonic landscape uniquely their own. They deliver their lively show with humor often playing in front of Scott's hand drawn backdrops reminiscent of Edward Gorey.

The Gypsy Nomads' new CD, At The Carnival Eclectique, released May 2008 features their eclectic mix all-drum instrumentals and gypsy celtic inspired songs both in English and French. To hear more samples visit: GypsySamantha



Also new in 2008, Eternal Summer, the all original French CD


Some Reviews...
"[They] have been touring diligently and sharing their live-performance energy with their ever increasing fan-base, and if you haven't seen them perform, you really should. Their mood is high-octane and exciting and their music perfectly complements that energy"
Faerie Magazine, 2008

"Few Bands have grabbed my attention like The Gypsy Nomads..."
Raven Digitalis, New Witch Magazine 2008

"Helland captures a mood that evokes a bonfire on a dark night, undulating and pulsating with life..."
Faerie Magazine 2007

"Scott Helland is a commanding acoustic guitarist, creating stimulating, passionate instrumentals that may cause little flowers to bloom in your heart."
Sharon Nichols, Chronogram Arts Magazine 2007

"Helland continues his energetic exploration of medieval themes and modes...his sense of fun and balance shine through and for this recording, he allows his punk rock instincts to play a larger part in the sonic scheme."
Kate Goldsmith, Taconic Nightlife Oct 2006

"Helland is yet another accomplished ex-punk from the early ..80's who has made the striking transition to atmospheric soundtracks."
Jack Rabid, BigTakeOver Mag


"Scott creates a warm brew of magic in which any audiophile will want to submerge."
If Journal May 2005

"Helland displays wit, taste, vision and craftsmanship in memorable melodies and colorfully constructed arrangements...an inspired take on, medieval, goth and pop"
Chronogram Magagzine 2004
