American Zen

A spiritual odyssey for teens and smart people.

The original story of American Zen was based upon the life, family and friends of the band's founder, Richard Del Connor, ("The Hippy Coyote"). By transferring his passions and problems into poetry and orations, most people are able to superimpose their own passions and problems into the musical masterpieces of The Hippy Coyote.

Coyote's classic rock origins propel the songs with a rock & roll honesty and artistic sincerity that is the highest level of musical performance ability comparable to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Donovan, The Doors, Mountain, Cream and other classic rock artists who set artistic standards by their own musical ambitions.

This backbone of integrity and spiritual perseverance is what sets this music of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll beyond and above all other music. It may be reasonable to complain, but American Zen is always struggling for improvement and solutions... while complaining. This tenacity inspires fans to 'not give up on their dreams,' as Coyote pursues a life-long ambition that always seems near or far--but always somewhere ahead.
