Artist Information Biography Over ten years of national touring, Coyote Run has firmly established a reputation as a literate, mythic Celtic Rock band. We dive deeply into history, mythology and whimsy to present a powerful, driving performance that takes the audience on a journey that is at once difficult to categorize, and hard to forget. Because of the unique mix of our material, we find that we are a perfect match for Science Fiction Conventions and have been enthusiastically received there. Our sources include the poetry of Yeats, Shakespeare, Henley, Tennyson, Blake, Kipling as well as legends, history and myths. Our highly theatrical performances sweep the audience away to march with Joan of Arc, suffer with the Jacobites at Culloden, dash pell mell into battle with Sir Francis Drake, struggle to escape the seductive lure of the Faerie mound, defy the universe with the bold words of Invictus, or await the arrival of the dreaded ghost train in the rugged Welsh hills. No Irish drinking songs here, we're a very different animal indeed. Coyote Run's members are: David Doersch, Doug Bischoff, Catherine Hauke, and Michael Kazalski. In addition to concerts, festivals and clubs, Coyote Run has a number of educational programs custom made for all ages: K-5, 6th-8th, High School and College. Go to our website for more information on these programs. www.coyoterun.com Formed in 1999, Coyote Run has been touring aggressively ever since. In Summer 2008, their seventh CD was released: 'Between Wick and Flame.' October 2009 has seen their eighth release, a live DVD entitled 'A Kilted Christmas with Coyote Run.' Coyote Run takes the stage with an arresting power and energy. They have performed at and headlined major Celtic festivals such as: Celebration of Celts (NY), Celtic Fling (PA), Potomac Celtic Festival (VA), Grandfather Mountain (NC), Foothills Highland Games (NC), Sycamore Shoals Celtic Festival (TN), Toledo Irish Festival (OH), Virginia Highlands Festival (VA), Gatlinburg Highland Games (TN), Greenville Highland Games (SC), Charleston Highland Games (SC), McHenry Highland Games (MD), Williamsburg Scottish Festival (VA) and more. They have toured Ireland and Scotland multiple times to great acclaim.
