Victims of Hurricane Katrina are attempting to recover from the massive storm that is still making its way across the Mid-Atlantic States. American Red Cross volunteers have been deployed to the hardest hit areas of Katrina’s destruction, supplying hundreds of thousands victims left homeless with critical necessities. Artists at Artistlaunch.com are answering the call by making and selling CD:s. 100% of the profits realized from the sale of these CDs will be donated to the Red Cross to aid victims of hurricane Katrina. For an indefinite period of time donated proceeds will be matched by the Ford Motor Company. Click CD cover to purchase to help.

Wayne Allen Coyle
DOB: July 16, 1960 Portland, Oregon
Now living in Boise, Idaho

In 1967 I started playing guitar at age 7. My father gave me his father's guitar, an old "Stella". I banged around on that until around 1969-70 when I started to play the violin. I had years of private lessons and played at various solo festivals. I also played French horn in high school. My first Pro gig was in 1973 in a band called "Odyssey". Around this time I started writing songs. We played a lot of school, and church dance's. My next band, "Midnight Sun", was started in high school and lasted until 1980. Our "claim to fame" was that we won a Battle of the Bands contest in 1979 that was hosted by Wolfman Jack. Part of our prize was some studio time in a then state of the art 8-Track studio. From those tapes we were able to get some local airplay on KBBK 92FM. A tune I wrote called "Stormout" got heavy rotation during the late summer of 1979, and was #2 in requests to "My Sharonna"
Here is a summary of stuff I've done since 1980.
1980-'81---- In a heavy metal band called "Rampage". Opened for Black Oak Arkansas, My first road trip.
1981-'82---- I worked as a single playing guitar, piano, and singing in places like: Pengilly's, Tom Graineys, The Gin Mill, and The Irongate Lounge.
1982--- I recorded and released my first solo album "Portrait" on which I played everything except the drums.
1982-'86---- Started band "Ocean" with Jeff Tauge. Toured Northwest, Midwest, and Canada. We had a regional Miller Beer sponsorship. More radio airplay. Extremely popular band.
1986-'89---- I moved to Seattle, Washington to play in a duo with ex-Ocean bass player Pat Pulliam.
1989-'91---- Joined "Justin Sayne". Toured extensively. Release an album in 1991 called "Big Tools". Played a lot in Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada.
1991-'92--- Started band called "The Powercats" We toured some. 1992-'93--- Joined country band "Redstone" Playing Keyboards, Guitar and Fiddle.
1993-Present---- Joined The Rocci Johnson Band The house band at Hummpin' Hannah's.

Through it all I've continued writing and recording demos for an upcoming album to be released sometime in 2003.
