“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.
