I am a live music advocate and seek to share the news of bands playing at local venues in my home town. Being drawn to blues mostly but embrace all kinds of music. One does not have to go over the bridge to hear some real fine tunes, however there are some bands that draw you elsewhere. I hope this blog is a good use to you as it is to me.
Enjoy,

Coyote Kolb @ MinglewoodAtLat43 9:00-12:00……Sweet!
I kind of feel like a kid let loose in a candy store knowing Coyote Kolb is coming to town tomorrow night. Also, that feeling as a child on Christmas eve, even. I get like that when I get to see what I consider a great band. So looking forward to seeing these guys. Don’t know if they will ever be back in town again. Come on out to see them 9:00 @ MinglewoodTavern AtLat. Check out the links and see what others have to say.
Coyote Kolb
We are really exited about our coming weekend adventures! Friday, we play the New England coastal town of Gloucester, MA. We’ll be at the Minglewood Tavern from 9pm-12am! No Cover – Then Saturday morning, we head out to the Earthland Reservation in northwestern MA to play and be at the Sacred World Inter-Dependance Festival- an ‘off the grid’ gathering of artists/ shamans, teachers, healers, musicians, children, animals, and adults= ..

Coyote Kolb
“Rubedo”
Friday night Coyote Kolb is coming to town. They will be MinglewoodTavern AtLat I can hardly believe it. The first and only time I got to see these guys was with three other bands one of whom I am hooked on big time. The Ten Foot Polecats….well thanks to them I met this band…went totally crazy and bought their CD right on the spot. I have listened to it over and over. I like their style, the way they look and most of all their sound. It’s all so different….rockin, Americana, country fried, sorrowful harmonic, and a wicked rockin blues effect.
I dedicate Royal Bug to my eldest grandson. When he hears it he will know why.

Check em out. I like what these guys have to say about Coyote Kolb.
“There’s a deep-country vibe to Coyote Kolb’s sound, but they also rock fuzzed-out dirges like Neil Young has excelled at over the years. ” -CheapThrillsBoston
“an awesome blend of sound that oscillates between blues, folk, and what I would describe as roadhouse rock n’ roll.” -Prairie Shack Music
“Pure Rock n Roll Bluesy goodness.” – The Noise -Boston
