Dylan LeBlanc & The Steel Vaqueros over in August/September; back for solo UK dates in December
05-07-2024Dylan LeBlanc - the supremely talented singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist - has always been one to push boundaries and "dance on a razor," as he likes to say. This is unsurprising, given his nomadic upbringing in Texas, Louisiana and Alabama. As a true wanderer, he has cultivated a deep trust in his instincts - both in his music and life more broadly. With a voice that carries the weight of many lifetimes, it's clear that Dylan has faced his fair share of challenges but is a shining example of the beauty that comes from perseverance and resilience.
It is that nomadic spirit that drew him not only to a life as a touring musician, but also to the beast that titles his newest record: Coyote. Coyote is LeBlanc’s first self-produced release, boasting a cherry-picked lineup of what he calls “killer session players,” such as drummer Fred Eltringham (Ringo Starr, Sheryl Crow), pianist Jim "Moose" Brown (Bob Seger), and bass player Seth Kaufman (Lana Del Rey). Though Coyote covers familiar ground for LeBlanc of living on the edge of danger and its many consequences, the record is both autobiographical and a concept album built around the character of Coyote, a man on the run.
