Coyote Island is the musical vision of producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Mike O’Hehir. For many years, Mike traveled the country more...0 with a guitar in hand, collecting sounds and ideas. Upon returning home to Maine, he began the process of pouring his heart into recordings. With roots in folk music, the sound quickly expanded into a new genre-bending realm of psychedelic indie. Mike assembled a band of brothers to capture the expansive soundscape in a live setting, and from this, Coyote Island was born. With the release of their first hit single, “Here Before,” the band quickly gained fans around the globe. Their live performance has been described as both “electric” and “transportive.” With good vibrations, danceable grooves, and tropical psychedelia, Coyote Island offers a sonic vacation from the doldrums of existence.
