BAND:   THC The Hippy Coyote

American Zen was founded in 1992 when Coyote was stranded in 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. Coyote has performed as a session player since 1992 for many other bands on flute, percussion, vocals, bass, and guitar. But when he performed solo on acoustic guitar he was usually billed as, The Hippy Coyote or American Zen. Since 2011, Coyote has been performing solo on electric guitar under the artist name, Kung Fu Cowboy.

Coyote's 12-string Alvarez was lost in 2009 and Coyote vowed to never play another acoustic guitar again for the rest of his life. We've got enough master recordings of Coyote on acoustic guitar for several of these THC The Hippy Coyote albums. Shaolin Records is releasing the acoustic solo recordings of The Coyote under the band name THC The Hippy Coyote, not American Zen. As of 2013, Coyote has been billed as Kung Fu Cowboy when performing solo with his Fender Stratocaster and flute.
