Stevie Coyle Concert

The Stevie Coyle house concert was that first in what we hope will be a frackin' amazing venue for artists in and around the Celtic traditional music world.

We submitted the concert announcement to the community calendar on KVMR radio. In spite of the fact that the announcement didn't get aired until the morning of the concert, a few people called to make reservations. The KVMR listeners all knew Stevie's music from The Waybacks.


I knew we were experiencing something very special when Stevie sang a Waybacks song that had backup vocals and the audience spontaneously sang backup.

We were so excited about having Stevie play in our house we made a whole bunch of food for the potluck. We ate during the intermission which seemed more like a party then anything else. After a half hour or so we went back into the living room and listened to more great fingerpicked guitar and entertaining songs.

Stevie Coyle, Sept. 21

When we moved up to Auburn, to this great house, I started having visions of hosting house concerts, for all my musical buddies. We are starting off with a BANG!




Stevie Coyle, of The Waybacks will be up in our area doing the American River Festival the fourth weekend in September. He has graciously consented to appear at our house for a solo performance on the Friday of that weekend, September 21.

We only have 30 seats available. If you are interested, email me right away. sharon56@pacbell.net
Prepayment is recommended to hold your spot.

Stevie and I attended Salinas High school together back in the day. We both studied drama, and both appeared in Hotel Paradiso, a French farce. Steve played the bellman, and even then he showed a flair for comedy. He went on to study acting, but music was always a big part of his life. Steve and his brother Jim have been playing guitar since long before I knew them.

Stevie's talent, sense of humor and lightning quick wit have only improved with time. I feel very fortunate to know him and I'm just tickled that the rest of the world is now recognizing this great performer.

I hope you all come out and enjoy this great singer/songwriter. Tell your friends! Steve will have you tapping your feet and clapping your hands. And most likely, he'll have you laughing, too. He's an entertainer extraordinare.
