BAND:   American Zen
ALBUM: LEVEL 1 = Peace of Mind

American Zen was founded in 1992 when Coyote moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. Prior bands included The Rich and Coyote in a Graveyard rock opera. Coyote is also Buddha Zhen who records Tai Chi and Kung Fu music. Shaolin Records is releasing the acoustic solo recordings of The Coyote under the new band name, THC The Hippy Coyote, although his last gig at the Tribal Cafe, Los Angeles, in 2013 was billed as "Kung Fu Cowboy," not American Zen.

 

BOOKS of American Zen LEVEL 1

When Coyote moved to Utah in November 1991, he was publishing his most recent poetry book, Love, Always & Forever! Michelle McCarty had been the Shaolin Records intern who handled most of the printing in North Hollywood, 1990 and 1991. The first book published in Utah and printed, mostly by Michelle, was Autumn Flavours. Some of these poetry books were bound in dark blue leather hardcovers and sold at Zen Seminars of Shaolin Chi Mantis several years later.
