Artist Information Biography Contact Andy O’Leary at 720-329-3346, coyotepoetman@yahoo.com  or Gary Hoover at 303-979-6846, hooverg@uswest.net OUR FOURTH CD - 'Callin' You Home' - is currently enjoying world wide airplay and reached number 7 on the NewAgeReporter top 100 chart. Coyote Poets of the Universe (aka Coyote Poets or CPU)  Make Coyote Music. This exciting and emotional art form is a unique concert experience featuring outstanding musicianship and award winning poets. The sound is fresh, not quite retro, somewhere between rap and rhapsody, beat and bebop, reminiscent of early Zappa in spirit, and has been popular with all types of audiences.  Instrumentation includes: electric and acoustic guitars, violins, electric fretless bass, flutes, oboe, clarinet, English horn, banjo, keyboards, congas and other percussion toys.  Multiple male and female vocalists create a lush and diverse sound. CPU has enjoyed sharing audiences with bands like Uncle Monk, Potcheen, Blue Turtle Seduction, Public Property,  New Vintage, Prymal Rhythm, Gypsy Swing Revue, George W Nixon, Parkin Lot, and Catfish Whiskey. The Coyote Poets began as a couple of jazz musicians with a radio show and a computer who decided it would be lots more fun to play live, and between some cosmic synchronicity and Craig's list grew into the musically poetic troupe of today. Their first three CDs received worldwide airplay  on hundreds of NAR and CMJ stations, and critical acclaim in publications as diverse as JazzTimes, The Denver Post, Cadence, Progression, and Tandem / Corriere Canadese as well as Ytsejam.com, AllAboutJazz.com, O'S Place.com and other web sites, and enthusiastic comparisons to artists as diverse as Ken Nordine, Frank Zappa, Ornette Coleman, Gong and Massive Attack.
