Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Run Coyote is a rock’n’roll / western noir band from Toronto, Ontario. The band soundtracks the fatal affairs of late-night lovers and the adventures of downtown cowboys through twangy guitars and dynamic arrangements and rhythms. Known for their dramatic and engaging live show, Run Coyote mixes “surf rock and western swagger” to “create sounds that might be a sync license in a vintage Hollywood silver screen picture” (Ian McFarland, It’s Not Records).

After spending the pandemic years writing and recording, Run Coyote’s new release, Songs to Run to – out now – features the more personal side of Sam Allen’s songwriting, set to the biggest rock’n’roll music band has released yet. The new EP features already-live-favourites “Alligator” and “The Detectives Took My Baby!”

Alt-folk aficionado Evan Jackson is a singer/songwriter born and based in Kingston, Ontario. From a young age, he soaked up the words and sounds of the artists he loved and began to develop his own country-noir style. At home on the stage, Evan weaves stories that are dark and magnetic. Evan’s vocal delivery, poignant storytelling, and his three-piece band’s rockabilly licks leave crowds captivated and craving more.


Poplar is a genre-bending indie band based in Kingston Ontario
