Coyote Rodeo

From the venue:

Coyote Rodeo is an Asheville, North Carolina-based experimental bluegrass band built around the songwriting of John Colby Elswick (guitar/banjo), Chad Brown (mandolin), and Connor Kozlosky (guitar). Featuring Jackson Weldon on dobro and pedal steel and Brad Poplin on bass, the band blends deep-rooted tradition with expansive arrangements, improvisation, and modern edge.

With driving rhythms, dynamic live energy, and a sound that stretches beyond the boundaries of acoustic music, Coyote Rodeo is carving out its place in the next wave of bluegrass—equally at home in listening rooms, theaters, and festival fields.
