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.
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.

by The Hippy Coyote |
Written in 2011 in one long day of prophecy. Coyote awoke to his spirit in Heaven. Escorted back to Earth by Satan, Coyote is given one full day of visions and answers as "Saten" explains the history of the universe using the ABCs of the English language. Later study of the Vedic scriptures in 2013 validated many of Saten's statements. |
