The Grass Gypsys are an independent, acoustic fusion band from Boston with a signature sound fueled by the power of two. Husband and wife musical duo, Justin and Colleen Kleya, blend styles from America’s roots music: Folk, Jazz, Rock n’ Roll, and Blues; into their catalog of original music and cover songs. They have been compared to Tuck & Patti & Nora Jones, Colleen’s rich and charismatic vocals and Justin’s expressive, finger-style acoustic guitar playing is a treat for any audience. Coffeehouses, Festivals, Cafe’s, House Concerts & Bars: The Grass Gypsys are your traveling troubadours of old, driving town to town, sharing stories of their adventures, the places they’ve visited, people they’ve met, and translating their insights through in their music’s content.
The Grass Gypsys got their start in Boston, MA in 2005 and have been touring across the United States since 2006, playing over 200 shows in 2008 alone. They have recorded two full-length, self-released albums: “Legend’s, Myth’s, & Fairytales” (2006) & “Lesson’s From Eden” (2008), and are in the process of recording their third album and planning for their fourth cross-country tour.

that spurs the songs that lead us…

Honeymoon Adventure at the Seaward Inn
Dawn had not yet broken when a young couple, staying at the Seaward Inn for their Honeymoon ventured out for a walk on Cape Hedge Beach.They maneuvered around large rocks, strewn onto the ramp as if nothing more than small pebbles...a reminder of the ocean's ferocity.
Emerging daylight unveiled nearby lobster boats tending their pots. Screeching seagulls circled around demanding any old bait being thrown overboard. In the distance tuna boats could be seen cruising by for a day at sea.
Kicking off their shoes the couple ran barefoot to the low tide mark and began walking the beach. They turned over rocks discovering small marine life and different forms of seaweed. Perhaps what attracted them most were the many odd shaped and multi-hued pebbles in the sand. They compared each, delighting in their discoveries,reminiscent of children opening gifts at Christmas.
Wet sand massaged their feet as they weaved in and out of the gentle, very cold, ocean waves. The salty sweet aroma of the sea permeated the air, adding to the rich adventure of their morning. Despite their fun, the invigorating morning had begun to take it's toll...they were starving! The fear of missing Seaward Inn's fabulous destination breakfast made them come to an abrupt stop. Laughing at the resemblance of their grumbling stomachs to the seagulls angry demands for food, they quickly turned and headed back. THEY DID NOT WANT TO MISS BREAKFAST AT THE SEAWARD INN'S SEA GARDEN RESTAURANT!
Still scanning for unusual stones, they began a slow jog back. As they neared the ramp, they saw something sparkle at the waters edge. Racing to pick it up, they discovered a very special charcoal colored pebble with speckles throughout, perfectly shaped as a HEART! They were awestruck. What a treasure!
Bubbling with excitement, they returned to the Inn where they shared their experience with other guests, while enjoying a hearty and well deserved breakfast. The experience, and of course,nature's gift, the heart, were treasures; souvenirs unlike any other, from their honeymoon at the Seaward Inn.
