Coyote Rodeo
Based around songwriters John Colby Elswick (Guitar) and Chad Brown (Mandolin). Featuring Jackson Weldon on Dobro, Connor Kozlosky on second guitar and a rotating cast of professional bass players (Brad Poplin and Bonnie Leigh). Coyote Rodeo seeks to push the boundaries of acoustic music while pulling from tradition and the current state of bluegrass and jamgrass.
Established in June of 2025 formed out of a mutual calling to start an all star original string band out of Asheville, North Carolina.
John Colby Elswick has been touring, recording and writing with his main stay band "The Kind Thieves” from West Virginia for over a decade. They have played top billing slots at Mountain Music festival and notable venues and shows across the region. He has steadily been building a grassroots music following with his thoughtful songwriting and invigorating guitar work. Currently he is in the process of finishing his third solo record.
