Jupiter Coyote - Brevard, NC

In the course of their 13-year history, Jupiter Coyote has played thousands of shows, traveled everywhere and done just about everything a touring band can do. The innovative group has independently sold nearly 200,000 CDs and shows no signs of fading, despite today’s ever-changing, increasingly unpredictable music scene.

JC plays it the way they feel it -- with little regard as to where they fall between the cracks of what is considered trendy and fashionable. A band prolific in its writing, skilled in its musicianship and congenial in its nature, they have managed to survive in the tough environment of the “underground” club and theater circuit. This is a band that is on the road nearly 200 days a year.

Coyote has shared the stage with The Allman Brothers Band, Widespread Panic, The Radiators and Kansas to name a few. They have played large festivals from coast to coast, including: High Sierra Music Fest, Atlanta’s Mid-Town, Birmingham’s City Stages, Asheville’s Bele Chere and The Magnolia Fest in Live Oak, Fla.

The group traces its roots to Brevard, N.C., where childhood friends Matthew Mayes (guitar, guijo, vocals) and John Felty (vocals, guitars) decided in 1990 to pursue a career in music. The duo headed to Athens, Ga., where they joined forces with bassist Sanders Brightwell. Steve Trismen (vocals, fiddle) joined the fold in 1999. A native of Boulder, Colo., Trismen’s playing melded neatly into the band’s sound and gave Coyote a new on-stage dynamic.

Tasteful and intense, the group’s jams extend higher and the melodies -- combined with Mayes’ guijo (banjo neck, Stratocaster body) and Felty’s slide guitar -- create a revolutionary sound truly all their own.

Drummer Noel Felty is the newest member of the band. The nephew of guitarist John, Noel is a world-class talent and has linked with Brightwell to provide a rock-solid foundation, while helping push JC to new heights.

In essence, Jupiter Coyote is a musical stew with members adding their own individual flavor to the mix. The band is the new twist in southern rock and they deliver it with a relaxed, worldly view. Their sound has been labeled “Mountain Rock” -- a mixture of Southern Appalachian boogie, bluegrass-infused, funk-rock.
