Fabrice Vignati

What  happens when you mix the passion for Rockabilly and Gypsy music with  the love for Jazz and Country music? You get a whole new genre called  "Gypsybilly", add some beats and you get "Electrobilly". THE VIGNATIS  have been rockin’ their Gypsybilly creation for 5 albums. The aurally  and visually colorful Los Angeles-based group’s dynamic performances  charter audiences on a journey from nostalgic times to the unknown  future. They innovatively fuse American/European traditions,  musicianship, and a sense of humor cleverly expressed in their songs.  “…The Vignatis deliver fabulous vocals on great tunes.”, says Music Connection Magazine. Their unmistakable, neo-nostalgic sound is a natural musical union so diverse it avoids strict categorization.

​

Their  May 2022 album release entitled “50/50 Part 1: Gypsybilly Vol. 5” is  the 5th chapter of their American/European fusion of cultures combining  an innovative, fresh approach with a solid rhythm section, and even some  beats, vocals, guitar, and clarinet. The overall sound is seasoned by  other distinctive instruments that paint a musical picture leaving  audiences singing along, tapping toes, or jumping to their feet. The  lyrics consist of topics from culture, geographic location, to  overcoming personal struggles, often with an underlying sense of humor.

​

As  prestigious voting members of The Recording Academy and Grammy® Awards,  THE VIGNATIS have performed at many esteemed events and venues  including The Grammy Museum, Emmy Awards Parties, and as the opening  support act for other renowned bands. Music is their lifestyle. Their  goal is to share Gypsybilly with the world by passing on to others the  same joy they receive in creating it. Whether paying homage to their  great musical influences or exploring the future, THE VIGNATIS continue  to blend the old continent of Europe, with the new continent of America,  from studio to stage.
