Coyote - Marcy and Lou - will engage and connect with the audience through intimate lyrical original songs, favorite familiar covers with a twist and stories about the songs and their unique island home life. Each sing and play multiple instruments (acoustic, electric and percussion) including guitars, mandolins, bass, dobro and percussion.
Marketing for performances include promotion through their website, direct email e-news, social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and publicity.
If life is about creating experiences, Marcy and Lou are truly alive, making music together and with neighbors and visiting friends. They share the love of family and community.
Ever "the trickster," Coyote draw from a huge arc of influences (and instruments!) from classical to rock, in both original songs and adapting covers. For 20 years Coyote have performed as a duo, specializing in intimate concerts and events.
As a songwriter, Marcy had the chance to work with the late producer Nik Venet (Beach Boys, Linda Ronstadt, Bobby Darin) and calls him her greatest artistic mentor. She spends a good deal of time immersed in music, songwriting and speaking about the back-handed gifts her cancer journey has given her. As a cancer survivor, she volunteers for advocate and support organizations. Her slogan is “live while you’re alive!” and she’s doing just that.
Lou Castro started his musical career as a child dragging his Mickey Mouse record player behind his bicycle by its power cable in Philadelphia, PA. He soon graduated to the broom, then the badminton racket and then the tennis racket. He took classical piano lessons from age nine until eleven when he picked up a REAL guitar.
Lou is a graduate of the Berklee School of Music in Boston and has played guitar and bass in numerous original and cover bands before forming COYOTE with Marcy Brenner. Lou is teaching now via zoom. He has never wavered from his life-long love of learning, playing and teaching music.
Marcy and Lou hesitate to share how long they’ve been playing music … after all those years they think they certainly should play much better! But they will say that they’ve been playing together as COYOTE since 2001. They toured with national folk band Molasses Creek, also from Ocracoke.
