The band features the soul-stirring vocal prowess of lead singer Belinda Brodsky who also plays hand percussion and keyboards.  She beautifully adds to Keen's instrumentalism and compositions with poetic lyricism, capturing the true essence and mystique of Gypsy Star.

Keen and Brodsky's powerful vocals and classical flamenco guitar use are complemented by the vocal harmonies of bandmate and dancer, Kimara Lee, who is featured performing in folkloric and gypsy style dance creating another dimension to their live shows while also adding percussion to their sound.  Rounding out the core of the band are the incredibly talented musicians… Joli Rome on accordion and keyboards and Robert Strickland on bass.
