The Wild Coyotes

String Band Music Old and New

Fact Sheet

The Wild Coyotes from southeast Idaho create tight harmonies and driving instrumentals as they play old-time fiddle and banjo tunes and songs from old and new sources. The Coyotes will bring you a program spanning a wide variety of traditional American-roots styles. Old time, bluegrass, classic and contemporary folk, and cowboy genres are set to classic old-time string band instrumentation with exciting vocal harmonies. The Wild Coyotes are Vince Crofts (fiddle, mandolin, and vocals), Rick McCracken (fretless and fretted banjo, vocals), Sallie Sublette (guitar, vocals) and Carrie Bean (bass, vocals).

In addition to concerts and entertainment for festivals, banquets, weddings, or other special functions, the Wild Coyotes join with top regional dance caller Dave Cottle of Salt Lake City to provide exciting contra, square, and circle dances. Dave has a magical way of encouraging even the most reluctant so that even groups with no prior dance experience can have a memorable evening. Dancing to the music of the Wild Coyotes with Dave calling is fun, good exercise, and a great time!

The Wild Coyotes have recorded three CDs: Across the Great Divide, Tunehead’s Fancy, and Coyotes Tracks. Joe Dobbs, host of the West Virginia Public Radio Show “Music from the Mountains,” has featured Across the Great Divide on his program. Joe says, “I really like this CD. We’ve got a lot of response for it. People told me they think it’s the best old-time CD they’ve heard.”

The Wild Coyotes perform at a wide variety of events – festivals, banquets, weddings, family reunions, pubs, community open-air concerts and were honored to be invited to perform at the Grand Opening of the Jenson Concert Hall at the new Idaho State University Performing Arts Center. If you have an occasion where traditional music would be enjoyed, the Wild Coyotes will help make your event a howling success!
