Coyote Crossing

September 5 | Myron Elkins & The Dying Breed
2020-09-05 20:00 - 23:00 UTC | Coyote Crossing Resort, 8593 S. 13 Rd., Cadillac, MI, 49601, United States
We’re welcoming Myron Elkins & The Dying Breed back to Coyote! The band played in March and again in June to start our summer music series off, and the squad sounded great.
The opener will start at 8 pm and is TBD.
“We are a Hillbilly band out of Southwest Michigan who plays with a very but hardly traditional sound. In the world of today we would be called Americana, for there are no songs about Trucks or beer. We do our own songs with lyrical content ranging from the epidemic of Crystal Methamphetamine to story’s of youth, family and love. Through our music, we try to inspire truth, a simple yet lost concept of the world we know today. through our performance, you will hear hints of Bluegrass, Rock, Country Western and maybe even Metal music for our inspiration and backgrounds vary quite differently. This band is made up of all family and close friends from a part of the world that is often overlooked but holds some of the hardest working men and women of the United States. We aim for a raw honest sound and try to channel days that are gone by being us, not sticking to a stereotypical recipe that is so often supported and held high, and by doing that we come out with an old-timey but relevant noise that we hope translates to all.” – Myron Elkins and the Dying Breed

August 29 | Doug Henthorn Band
2020-08-29 20:00 - 23:00 | Coyote Crossing Resort, 8593 S. 13 Rd., Cadillac, MI, 49601, United States
Doug’s been changing the oil in a number of projects since founding and fronting the now disbanded blues-rock band Healing Sixes (2000-14). His debut release ‘Cold Medicine’ (2016) is a crafty and brooding songscape with more of a focus on voice and lyric than his previous H6’s era. His current release “The LLC” (2019) is a fun barebones rock record with a healthy dose of newly termed ‘Alternative Blues’.
Doug is a singer, guitarist, songwriter, performer and producer. Sometimes all at the same time.
Besides his current solo project and Healing Sixes, Doug has shared his voice and/or guitar skills with notables such as Joe Bonamassa, John Hiatt, Jason Bonham, and Beth Hart to name a few.
Doug performs and records all over the US and abroad while maintaining his residence in central Indiana.

August 22 | Drew Hale Band
2020-08-22 20:00 - 23:00 | Coyote Crossing Resort, 8593 S. 13 Rd., Cadillac, MI, 49601, United States
Throughout Michigan, the name Drew Hale is synonymous with powerful vocals, compelling lyrics and haunting melodies. In 2016, Drew won the national Country Showdown competition held at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, earning him the title Best New Act in Country Music, as well as the $100,000 cash prize. Most recently, The Drew Hale Band won the Detroit Regional round of 93.1 NashFM’s Nash Next contest.
Influenced by Texas roots and artists such as Reckless Kelly and Eric Church, the Drew Hale Band’s music pays homage to the red dirt country and southern rock scenes, as well as paints a picture of their love for the people and culture of Michigan, where the band calls home. The Drew Hale Band can be found playing throughout the Midwest, promoting their latest album, Roots and Wings (including the single, Pieces, featuring Vince Gill). They have shared stages and played festivals with some of Nashville’s biggest recording artists, including Tim McGraw, Frankie Ballard, Dierks Bentley, Canaan Smith, Trace Adkins, Toby Keith, Cassadee Pope, Scotty McCreery, LoCash, William Michael Morgan, RaeLynn, Drew Baldridge, The Railers, and Adam Sanders. Whether on an intimate stage at one of the many wineries or breweries throughout Michigan, rocking a bar on a Saturday night, or playing festivals such as Common Ground (Lansing, MI) or Arts, Beats, & Eats (Royal Oak, MI), you can count on an eclectic show that delivers a dynamic combination of originals and covers that bridge the gap between country, roots rock, and blues.

August 8 | Michigan Rattlers
2020-08-08 20:00 - 23:00 | Coyote Crossing Resort, 8593 S. 13 Rd., Cadillac, MI, 49601, United States
Come to Michigan Rattlers only scheduled show in 2020 at Coyote! Link to prepurchase tickets: https://www.facebook.com/events/307520726969362/

Only selling 125 tickets, so get them while they’re still available!

Lifelong friends and deep-north natives, Michigan Rattlers play heavy-hearted folk-rock with an aching dose of Midwestern nice. Graham Young (guitar), Adam Reed (upright bass), and Christian Wilder (piano) began writing music and performing together in their Northern Michigan high school.
“Petoskey is a small place. Beautiful, but secluded. It’s hard to start a musical career in a place where there are more deer than people.”
Still, they regularly played every bar, cafe, and stage in town, developing a musical chemistry informed by the likes of AC/DC, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Seger, and more.
After a few years apart, Reed and Young settled down in Los Angeles, recorded a short demo, and began playing locally. The demo found its way into the hands of super-producer Johnny K (Plain White T’s, 3 Doors Down), and they cut the bulk of their first EP at NRG Studios in just one day.
“My favorite music is recorded that way,” continues Reed. “You get in a room, plugin, and cut songs live. The energy of the recording comes directly from the physical performance, and it puts the listener into that specific time and place.”
This self-titled Michigan Rattlers EP attracted glowing reviews from No Depression, Bluegrass Situation, B3 Science, and Rolling Stone, who named the band one of their “Ten New Country Artists You Need To Know” in 2016. They spent the rest of that year and much of the next touring in support of this release.
In September 2017, Pianist Christian Wilder was added to the band’s lineup. Now a trio, the group headed into the studio to record their newest EP, Wasting the Meaning. Comprised of three cover songs, the project was conceived as a way to explore deeper into the recording process and pay homage to some of their favorite songwriters.

2020-07-25 21:00 - 23:00 | Coyote Crossing Resort, 8593 S. 13 Rd., Cadillac, MI, 49601, United States
Duke and the Studebakers have been entertaining classic rock audiences, almost continuously, since its founding in 1988. The band got its name from the beat-up Studebaker truck they used to haul their band equipment and an old hound dog named Duke!
The band has a long-time following, spanning nearly 30 years. The band is known for its smooth, 4-part harmony, crowd-pleasing classic rock-n-roll, and passion for music and entertainment. Audiences of all ages come to hear them wherever they go and hold their attention for hours.
Kearney Walters, as the lead crooner, never ceases to amaze audiences with his depth of knowledge of long time favorites from That’ll Be the Day, You Lost that Lovin’ Feelin’ and Sweet Caroline, to popular B-side songs such as Poke Salad Annie, Suzie Q, and Grandpa. Kearney has a very distinctive voice and he never disappoints.
With Herb Cottier on lead guitar and vocals, Mike LaValley on Bass and vocals, and Paul Guyon on drums and vocals, their 4-part harmony on classics such as Seven Bridges Road and Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door must be heard to appreciate!
The band is preparing for its 2017 Spirit in the Sky tour of select Northern Michigan venues and expects to sell-out its summer weekend. Some bookings are still available; call Mike 231-709-3768 or Herb 231-429-5566.

July 18 | Luke Winslow King
2020-07-18 21:00 - 23:00 | Coyote Crossing Resort, 8593 S. 13 Rd., Cadillac, MI, 49601, United States
Luke Winslow-King’s latest album is an example of craftsmanship at the highest level, radiating a warmth and timeless elegance. Adept at mixing country, blues, R&B, rock ‘n’ roll, and folk influences intuitively and masterfully, Luke shapes a mood from many sources and shepherds it to a unifying place of acceptance and hope. Blue Mesa is both stately and approachable, manifestly proficient but deeply personal.
What sets this album above the singer and guitarist’s previous work is how he’s absorbed the offerings of a life in music. Born and raised in the Northern Michigan town of Cadillac, he moved to New Orleans at 19 and spent the next 15 years fully immersing himself in the musical waters that flow through there. Now that he’s moved on, it is the larger world, and the people and places in it, that enthralls him. From these travels and friendships comes a deeper and richer perspective on the American musical traditions he fell in love with at an early age.
From the first track, Luke effortlessly draws the listener into his genre-expansive, dynamic world. “You Got Mine,” co-written with friend and legendary local musician “Washboard” Lissa Driscoll (who passed away in September 2017), enchants with its laid back grace. Delicate touches of Paul Simon and Robert Cray color this paean to unconditional friendship and camaraderie. With crisp guitar lines evoking Mike Campbell, the gospel-tinged call-to-action “Break Down the Walls” and the easy-country amble “After the Rain” sit astride the solemn and the uplifting. The subtle Stax-inflected soul of the title track casts a disintegrating relationship against the inspirational scenery of the desert Southwest. “Farewell Blues,” a song written after he found out about his late father’s cancer diagnosis, has a resolute drifter’s wandering heart to guide it.
But no matter where he goes, the current of the Crescent City still tugs at Luke’s music. The sweaty riffs of “Thought I Heard You” are as hot as the beer is cold and the syncopated horns on “Chicken Dinner” are a big, playful flirtation. The psychedelic swamp boogie of “Leghorn Women” brims with charm, both suave and sinister, while the Tom-Petty-on-the-levee vibe of “Born to Roam” makes it a classic-in-the-making road trip anthem.
Blue Mesa was recorded across the globe in the Tuscan fortress village of Lari, Italy and features long-time collaborator and Italian blues guitar dynamo Roberto Luti, Chris Davis of King James and the Special Men, and Mike Lynch (Bob Seger, Larry McCray) on organ, among others.
Luke Winslow-King has collaborated with New Orleans legends and wunderkinds alike, including Dr. John, John Boutté, Luti, Little Freddy King, Washboard Chaz, and Meschiya Lake. In addition to holding down residencies at numerous venues and releasing four studio records over the course of nine years, he has toured extensively in North America and Europe, appearing on notable stages such as Austin City Limits, New Orleans JazzFest, Azkena Rock Festival (Spain), Paradiso (Netherlands), Maverick Festival (UK), and countless more.
