After releasing seven recordings and touring the U.S. and Europe with his band Scissormen over a dozen years, with stops at Bonnaroo, Cognac and other major international festivals, Ted Drozdowski now leads Coyote Motel—a high energy quintet of three women and two men whose deep cosmic roots music reaches for the stars but has its feet in the mud and dust of the deep South.

For Drozdowski, whose inventive and original approach to guitar and expertise with slide has been profiled in Guitar Player magazine, his Nashville-based band’s three albums—Coyote Motel, Learn To Love the Moon, and the live Still Among the Living—are a new creative zenith. Coyote Motel hit the #1 spot on the Alternate Route’s Americana playlist, and all have been played on radio throughout the U.S and Europe, including Sirius/XM, and have received glowing reviews in music magazines and mainstream publications. As Rev. Keith A Gordon wrote in That Devil Music: “Altogether, Coyote Motel is a hell of a lot of fun, a near-perfect fusion of blues, country, rock, and folkish elements that shouldn’t work but instead sounds like Drozdowski invented the entire Americana genre. Grade: A”
