About
History
Coyote Music was formed in Austin, Texas in 1995 as a management company and booking agency for two unsigned bands. Over the next five years, the company took on the roll of an indie record label, releasing several demos and full-length albums for its artists, all the while promoting shows, creating marketing campaigns, and accepting demos from new artists for consideration of representation.
Now
Since 2000, Coyote Music has shifted its focus toward promoting the careers of talented musical artists across the country. Our projects have included: writing album/performance reviews, working with musicians in workshop sessions to help hone live performances, event promotion, artist management, musical instruction, and most recently creating affordable and high-quality websites for musicians.
