Nick Gusman And The Coyotes Release
Self-Titled Album
While the album is Gusman’s second, it is his first with his band The Coyotes, who are well-known regionally and on the St. Louis scene. Locally, Nick Gusman and The Coyotes have performed live across the area and have opened for national touring acts like Charley Crockett, RC and The Ambers and Cody Canada. In a heavily saturated Americana market, Gusman’s songwriting and intricate sound is gaining a national presence by touring extensively across the Midwest, as well as the East and West coasts and Alaska.
“Nick Gusman and The Coyotes” clearly demonstrates the maturity gained in the years since his debut album “Dear Hard Times.” Gusman’s songwriting is backed by a driving, talented band of musicians. With dazzling guitar sweeps and lively fiddle, Nick Gusman and The Coyotes deliver a full wave of Americana sound to an audience who cannot help but sing along.
Nick Gusman's Debut,
Dear Hard Times
Dear Hard Times may be the debut offering from singer-songwriter Nick Gusman, but there's a lot of history on the album. Take the cover, for example, which features a portrait of Gusman cradling a 1943 Martin guitar that belonged to his grandfather, a musician who played up and down Cherokee Street and along South Broadway in his day. The album's artwork is dotted with pressed flowers that belonged to a friend's grandmother; they date back about 100 years, Gusman says.
And certainly there is history and tradition in the folk songs that populate the album, which serve as a showcase for Gusman's flinty guitar playing and strong voice. But across its fourteen songs and hour-long run time, he and his bandmates work through several strands of Americana and rock styles. On his official first outing, Gusman is an apt student of an old style, but keeps a keen eye on modern times……
