Coyote Run's music is hard to put in a pigeonhole. Our music is Celtic in all of its moods, heavily influenced by great writers, painters and musicians. Our music is at once high energy, powerful, passionate, thoughtful and danceable. Our influences include (but are by no means limited to) Silly Wizard, Great Big Sea, and Tanglefoot. We draw our literary inspirations from such sources as Kipling, Stevenson, Shakespeare, Yeats, and many more.

Coyote Run is a high energy, New Celtic Alternative band that gets the audience up on their feet, clapping their hands, laughing out loud and dancing. These five musicians come together to create something old, something new, something utterly fantastic, and completely exciting. This dynamic lineup is the reason that Coyote Run is being hailed as one of the "most exciting Celtic acts touring today."
Drawing on the deep wellsprings of Celtic and Maritime traditions, Coyote Run bends those traditions, finding new and exciting veins within rock and alternative stylings. Their music is driving, powerful, and yet resonates and is layered with Celtic traditional music. Though their influences include: Wolfstone, Tanglefoot, Great Big Sea, and Steeleye Span, Coyote Run puts a distinctive twist on all of it and is a truly unique band. Perfect family fare and a performance you won't soon forget!
Coyote Run hails from Williamsburg, Virginia and tours extensively throughout the eastern half of the U.S. In 2003, they toured Ireland and in 2005, they took Scotland by storm playing their "new traditional" sounds across the Highlands. There they found that audiences absolutely refused to let them off the stage and demanded encore after encore.
For anyone that is interested in organizing and volunteering for the Coyote Run Street Teams on the East Coast. Check it out and have fun supporting the band!
We just added each other as friends. We were just contacted by Donovan (Grandfather Mountain Highland Games) and asked to perform at GMHG this year. It will be our first year there, but I saw you were there last year.
We performed a song with Albannach last year (an unofficial improv thing). Had a lot of fun. Will you be playing there this year?

Thanks for friending. Superb show at the Iron Horse last week. We were totally blown away! Such energy and stage presence and wonderful musicianship--we just went home with great big grins on our faces--and great new CDs for our collections. What a great idea to invite openers Ed and Neil Pearlman to play along with you--what a fabulous combination you all made! We couldn't believe that you all hadn't been practicing together for months. So nice to have a new band to add to my favorites!

Thank you for a fantastic show tonight in Crossville. It was well worth the drive, and I wish I could see more of your gigs -- come to the midwest!! What a pleasure meeting such talented people and seeing my buddy the drum major. You're still great, Dave! I'll be sending the blackmail photos from High School as soon as I get back to Kansas City. :-D
