Very fine band The Stone Coyotes have decided to make Houston their official second home. That's pretty damn cool.
The Stone Coyotes have figured out a way around the old dictum "You can never go home again." They just found a second home.Houston.
After several years of playing for growing audiences at the Conroe Cajun Catfish Festival, McGonigel's Mucky Duck and the Continental Club, the rock trio decided to lay down roots thousands of miles from its Greenfield, Mass., home.
"There was an instant sense of recognition that people in Houston got us," says lead singer/guitarist/keyboardist Barbara Keith. "There was an instant sense of belonging."
Just like that, Houston has another hot new act to call its own.
Keith and her husband, drummer Doug Tibbles, have now settled in The Woodlands, while their son, bassist/guitarist John Tibbles has his own place closer to downtown. Their rehearsal space is a large storage unit located just off I-45.
The Stone Coyotes' plan is to make Houston the band's winter home. The group will return to Massachusetts during the summer, playing clubs in towns and cities along the way.
