COYOTE RUN
Tickets $20.00 – Showtime 8:00 pm
    'The take-no-prisoners approach to Celtic music.' ~ Gene Shay, WXPN, Philadelphia, PA. Originally formed in 1999, Coyote Run has changed significantly from its Celtic Folk roots, evolving into one of the hottest bands on the Celtic Rock circuit today. Blending traditional tunes with rich, literate lyrics, compelling melodies and rock, jazz and flamenco instrumental hooks, this band weaves a tapestry unlike any other out there. Their lyrics and music take the audience on a journey that is at once heart stopping and foot stomping. Tears, laughter, clapping and spontaneous dancing are regular features of a Coyote Run concert. Our instrumentation begins with musical elements familiar to fans of Celtic music, i.e. wailing bagpipes, dancing whistles, and intricately woven accordion lines, but then includes the tribal growl of the didgeridoo and the backbeat of the djembe, all couched and supported by world class jazz/rock bass, and driving rhythm guitar. But none of this would work at all, were it not for the symphonic, nuanced and incredibly powerful rock drumming that surrounds, supports and drives all of the music. All of this musical power and richness wraps around our acclaimed lyrics. 'Imagine Jethro Tull on Broadway and you start to get the picture.' ~Daily Press, VA. In 2002, we answered the call of fans for a live CD and released 'Full Throttle Celtic.' This album received favorable reviews in Sing Out! magazine and Dirty Linen. This album was followed up in 2004 with another Paul Mills collaboration, 'Don't Hold Back.' This critically acclaimed album secured Coyote Run's position as one of the premier Celtic Folk acts in America. In 2005, we went a little nuts and decided to release 2 albums within 2 months of each other. 'Tend the Fire,' & 'Pleads the Fifth.' In January of 2008, the work began on our seventh CD, 'Between Wick and Flame.' This CD is clearly the high water mark of all of our albums to date. There is a real buzz about Coyote Run right now, a wave of new energy and excitement among our fans that is palpable. Come and experience the magic that is Coyote Run!  (www.coyoterun.com)
