This year we have some surprises up our sleeve. The Howling Coyote "Accoustic Blues Band" featuring longtime favorite Michael Lewis, and introducing Jacy Lee on percussion and Kevin "The Harmonica Man" Scheeval, will be joining the tour. I am really excited about this new season and hope to see you soon!

(7/17/08, Webmaster) The JNG Band and Jim Sobo hit the road this morning after their usual Wednesday night gig at Coyote Joes. They traveled for 12 hours straight arriving in the bay area just after noon. The guys are really stoked to be taking their music to The City and it's sourroundings and are resting up for some good times. The boys performed live in studio on KRSH live which was also streamed The Krush Live
(7/22/08, Sobo) Tuesday, July 22nd, 1:16pm. The show in Napa went great, the JNG Band
rocked Downtown Joe's, and I beleive I put together a good acoustic set
for the dinner crowd before all hell broke loose. We recieved a
complimentary article from the Napa Valley Register, so that probably
helped our efforts Napa Valley Register. The KRSH show in Santa Rosa went great. Andre,
the show's host seemed pleased with our performances, we'll post them
and the Napa article on the website ASAP. We have a show tonight at
The Last Day Saloon in Santa Rosa, Lagunitas Brewery will be attending,
doing a beer promo for the show. They too have been kind to us out
here on the road, we appreciate all the positive energy that seems to
be surrounding us right now. That's all I got, signing off for now,
look forward to my next installation.
Saturday, July 26th 11:30am -
The show in Petaluma was fantastic. A national act "New Riders of
the Purple Sage" were in town, playing just around the corner from
Bricks. This drew many enthusiastic fans to their show, as well as
ours. The venue was centrally located, good performance space and very
generous manager, in regards to supporting our tour concept. Nice
peolple, good crowd, overall one of my favorite gigs and towns we've
played in thus far. I adopted a new gig on Friday, back in Santa Rosa,
in the downtown area we should have played in on Tuesday! The place
was packed, the performance space was upstairs looking down on the
crowd, so the sound quality was an issue. But considering it was added
at the last minute, the show went well, the owner was happy, and I made
a possible new contact for next year's tour. So, here we are: Saturday
before showtime on Haight St. in San Francisco, our last stop before
heading home. I did an on-air performance for KUSF Friday morning at
8:00am to throw in a last minute promo for today's show. The ad is
placed in the SF Weekly, the spots ran on the Friday morning and the
afternoon commute on KUSF, and I'm ready to put in our last performance
before heading home. We're all tired, but our hard work paid off, and
I feel competent as a promoter and performer. The JNG Band worked
their butts off, and I'm gratefull to have them as tour buddys and
comrades. Thank you for supporting the tour, we love you all!

spirit of independence, we present to you the Howling Coyote Tour,
where music lovers can come together and enjoy an event of independent,
diverse and contemporary singer/songwriters original music. As a
listener, rather than committing yourself to one band or artist, you
can expose yourself to several different established artists from the
Southwest, who contribute to each other’s music through ever-changing
vocal and instrumental arrangements, all of which makes for a tour as enjoyable for the artist as the listener. Artists have CDs for sale on iTunes and CD Baby.com, as well as at the show for new
and old fans alike. This year’s line-up is Kenny James, Jim Sobo,
Jonathan Hust & Gary Ukura – the JNG Band, David Whitley and guest
instrumentalist Michael Lewis. The show ranges from an all day event
to a three set format depending on the venue. However this stew of artists and tunes are served up, it’s sure to be a tasty treat for
all! Last year’s tour went great, we received a complimentary article
from the Half Moon Bay Review and performed on the 30th Anniversary of
KUSF, an interview that featured all the performers and details
