Coyote Run to perform May 18

May 14, 2009 03:57 pm

— Celtic powerhouse Coyote Run will bring their signature and highly literate Celtic Rock to the Palace Theatre on Main Street in Crossville on Monday night, May 18, at 7 p.m. Touring in support of their new CD, "Between Wick and Flame," Coyote Run's theatrical performances have been igniting stages nationwide. This is a band that loves Celtic music, loves their audiences and knows how to have a rollicking good time!
Given that their founder and lead singer has been a professor for many years, it is no surprise that this band has come to be known as "the thinking person's Celtic Rock band.” Coyote Run headlines and performs in major Celtic festivals, concert halls, clubs and pubs throughout the United States, as well as tours of Ireland and Scotland.
Within a sweeping soundscape, Coyote Run engages the audience in story after story, whisking them away to march side by side with Joan of Arc, or to roll out the guns against Sir Francis Drake, invade the French city of Calais, snatch back a faerie abductee, or witness the cruelty of a witch trial in colonial Virginia. The stories are rich and compelling; the melodies are memorable and at once manage to be both familiar and original. Tight harmonies and soaring vocals telling tales from legend, history and myth are the hallmark of this band.
The May 18 performance will be the fourth time the Performing Arts Alliance (PAART) has presented these incredible performers on the Palace stage. The previous concert appearance of Coyote Run, “Christmas with the Coyotes,” sold out in record time. Tickets to this event are reserved seating and may be purchased at the Palace Theatre. They are $15 for adults and $8 for students.
