“Performing
live has an energy to it that is unlike anything else I have
experienced in this life. The studio then brings a whole different
sensation of ultimate creativity. It’s all about the Music. That’s what
drives us.” - Devon Coyote
The Devon Coyote Trio played over a
180 shows in 2013 ranging from festival stages to theatres, club shows
and house concerts. The Trio captivates crowds with infectious
grooves, inspired songwriting and brilliant musicianship. The band’s
relentless tour schedule and energetic live show has their fan base
spreading like wildfire.
The release of 2013’s ‘Broken Down EP’
has fans eagerly awaiting their upcoming full-length album due out this
fall. They received great exposure through playing Canadian festivals
such as Salmon Arm Roots & Blues, Keloha Music & Arts, Wapiti,
Sunstroke, Dancing Barefoot, Serenity, Center of Gravity, etc. Live
radio and television performances of the new single ‘Five Long Days’ has
gained the band even more momentum.
The Devon Coyote project
began in the fall of 2010, when Devon Bjarnason quit his contracting job
to pursue music full time. Six months later he released the ‘Tri
Coloured EP’ and was nominated for BCIMA ‘New Artist of the Year’. Devon
released his much-anticipated full-length album ‘Blue, Black and Grey’
in September 2011. Numerous tracks from the album received frequent
radio rotation and his single ‘Always in the Grey’ was picked up by
Ryders Eyewear for a YouTube ad campaign.
From his beginnings
as a lone wolf with a stomp box, acoustic guitar and harmonica, Devon
Coyote has now solidified an accomplished power-trio with some of BC’s
finest. Bassist/multi-instrumentalist D’Arcy Booth and
drummer/percussionist Dylan Ranney both come from extensive and eclectic
musical backgrounds. With Devon’s powerful vocals and intricate guitar
work, the group blends Rock, Blues, Folk, Country, Jazz and Funk into a
sound that has truly become their own.
Through the years they
have shared the stage with acts such as Current Swell, Yukon Blonde,
Harry Manx, The Sheepdogs, AWOLNATION, Alex Cuba, Emerson Drive, Andrew
Allen, Shred Kelly and the list goes on. The trio is based out of
Kelowna but spends countless nights on the road traveling from Tofino,
up to the Yukon and Alaska, east to Montreal, and down through Chicago.
The boys work ethic and sheer determination has them shining brighter
than ever.
Testimonials:
“While driving through
Revelstoke, I caught a Devon Coyote track on Stoke FM and it stopped me
in my tracks. As soon as I got back to my office, I booked Devon for the
Salmon Arm Roots and Blues. At the festival, Devon Coyote stopped
everyone else in their tracks. It is so rewarding when a guy you rolled
the dice on delivers beyond your wildest dreams”.
Hugo Rampen - Executive Director
Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival
“We have had the pleasure of booking Devon Coyote for numerous events
over the years including our two festivals, KELOHA and Center of
Gravity. The band’s talent, diversity as musicians and ability to play
intimate acoustic shows to full-on rock parties, has made them one of
the most frequently booked artists by Wet Ape Productions. It is truly a
remarkable and memorable experience watching this band perform. I
highly recommend you put them on your radar."
