RANDY Randy started in music at 14 years old playing a cheap guitar in his family home in Bosque Farms, NM. For several years he was mostly self taught then began music lessons at about age 18. A few years later he put his guitar aside for several years when his children were young and growing up playing occasionally for relaxation and stress relief. In 2005, Randy visited a small banjo shop near his present home in Cedar Crest, NM, where he walked out with his first starter banjo. He was hooked and hasn't stopped playing it since, rarely ever playing his guitar. Randy's association with Tony and Gordon started during a jam after watching performers at the 2008 Santa Fe Bluegrass and Old Time Music Festival. They asked Randy to join the Lost Howlin' Coyotes the next day.
Randy now plays banjo, sings lead and harmony vocals and plays guitar on occasion with the band.
GORDON Growing up in Lubbock, Texas, Gordon West began his musical journey playing drums with his dad’s Country and Western band until age 18. At some point Gordon taught himself the guitar but was primarily focused on a cappella singing. Many years and miles later (2006) Gordon was encouraged by his wife to participate in a local JAM composed of Country and Old Tyme pickers near their home in central New Mexico. Participation in the group became a favorite pastime for Gordon and as fate would have it; his desire for musical performance was restored.
A chanced meeting with Tony introduced Gordon to a genre of music he was not familiar with, “bluegrass”. A bond between the two quickly formed and later that year the two friends formed the musical partnership now known as “the Lost Howlin’' Coyotes”. In 2007, Gordon and Tony collaborated on their first self produced record entitled “"Heartbreak Train”".
Gordon plays guitar and sings lead and harmony vocals in the band and also functions as the bands unofficial good will ambassador. Tony says; "Gordon is one of those rare individuals who “never met a stranger”".
CAT ROSE Being the youngest member of the group, Cat Rose may actually be one of the most experienced players in the Lost Howlin' Coyotes band. She is a multi-instrumentalist versed in; flute, trumpet, guitar, jazz bass, mandolin and bass fiddle. She brings years of music education and experience with marching bands, symphonic bands and jazz ensembles to every Coyotes show. Her extensive knowledge of musical theory coupled with an accute sense of timing and rythm keep the Coyotes on time and in step.
Cat Rose plays bass fiddle and sings lead and harmony vocals in the band.
LOUIS Louis (pronounced Louie) has been enthralled by all kinds of music as long as he can remember. He first played guitar while a teenager in El Paso, Texas and continued intermittently while in the US Navy and graduate school in Boulder Colorado. After settling in the northern Virginia area, he fell in love with playing Bluegrass about 1982 and faithfully attended jams at the Capitol Area Bluegrass and Old Time Music Association for 15 years. He first branched out to standup bass, then mandolin, but one morning in 1991 he awakened with a passion he still feels to play the fiddle. Today he pursues Bluegrass, Celtic, and Old Time styles of this remarkable instrument. For nine years, until 1997 when he and wife Shirley moved to Los Lunas, he played mostly bass and some fiddle in a working Bluegrass band in the Washington D C area. Louis participation with the Lost Howlin'’ Coyotes started during a jam after watching performers at the 2010 Santa Fe Bluegrass and Old Time Music Festival. Tony asked Louis to join the group the next day.
He primarily plays fiddle in the musical mix, with occasional mandolin, bass and harmony singing.
TONY From an early age, Tony began to fill his family home with an eclectic mix of recorded music ranging from Hank Williams to Billy Preston and everyone in between. At age ten he picked up an old mandolin that his grandfather had given his mother as a child, after a few short months of trying to teach himself to play the instrument he gave it up (postponed) in favor of the guitar. For years to come, Tony was seldom seen without his guitar in tow playing venues as diverse as small family gatherings to International Christian youth conventions. His extensive repertoire of songs rooted in gospel music began to build. Life, work, higher education, marriage and family all were peppered with music of one form or another... and so the story goes. Tony, wife Mia and their two beautiful and talented daughters Catalina (Cat Rose) and Marisol live a simple country life just south of Albuquerque where the pace is slow, the air is clean and the sky is blue.
Tony plays multiple instruments but primarily holds down the mandolin and lead vocal responsibilities in the band.
