Coyote Rodeo

9:30pm – Close – Coyote Rodeo is an Asheville, North Carolina–based experimental bluegrass band built around the songwriting of John Colby Elswick (guitar) and Chad Brown (mandolin). Featuring Jackson Weldon on dobro and pedal steel, Connor Kozlosky on second guitar, and Brad Poplin on bass, the band blends deep-rooted tradition with expansive arrangements, improvisation, and modern edge. With driving rhythms, dynamic live energy, and a sound that stretches beyond the boundaries of acoustic music, Coyote Rodeo is carving out its place in the next wave of bluegrass — equally at home in listening rooms, theaters, and festival fields.
