COYOTE MEZCAL
James
Austin, TX
Born and raised in Texas, James is the band's country spine: the English grit, the highway, the heartbreak. He writes the kind of plainspoken line that sounds like it always existed.
The Band
Three Voices, Two Languages
Austin to Mexico City. A country songwriter, a film-and-theater veteran, and a producer who's worked with Grammy winners.
Meet the band
Vince
Mexico City
Film, TV, theater, music. Vince has worked across all of it, and he's the band's most visible voice. He's spent a career on stages; this is the project that feels most like home.
Daher
Venezuela → CDMX
A producer and singer-songwriter who's cut records with Grammy winners, Daher carries the Spanish poetry and the studio craft. Venezuelan by birth, chilango by choice, he's the reason the frontera side rings true.
Three traditions, one room
Coyote Mezcal isn't a Texan singing in Spanish or a Mexican act doing country. It's three writers from three places: Texas, Mexico City, and Venezuela, building one sound. Each tradition is carried by someone who actually lives it.
How it came together
-
Two cities, one idea
A Texan songwriter and two Mexico City lifers kept landing on the same instinct: the country songs and the frontera songs wanted to be in the same room.
-
Cup o' Tunes
The band played its first show at Soy Feliz tattoo shop in Mexico City. Exactly the kind of room mexa-country belongs in.
-
The debut EP
Three songs mastered, two more in the works, and a sound nobody else is committing to this far.
“Out here howling with the wolves, and putting on my winter skin”
“Soy un lobo solitario, otra vez”
— I Lost the Lot
A coyote crosses the line in both directions. So does the music.
