About American Zen
American Zen is led by The Hippy Coyote who fronts the band on flute and acoustic guitar. Coyote is the "Kung Fu Cowboy" who studies Shaolin Kung Fu, and with their latest record, LEVEL 3 = I Want You To Love Me, has somehow become the band's drummer also. Although Coyote worked hard to get his bandmates back, the band was destroyed when our booking agent promised us we would make more money in Utah--and Coyote got stranded there caring for her kids.
