The global music industry is always on the hunt for the "next big thing," but rarely do we see a lineup this seasoned and diverse. Wiley and the Coyotes aren't just another band emerging from the Denver rock circuit; they are a collective of heavy-hitters, each bringing a lifetime of high-level performance to a groundbreaking new sound.
By seamlessly blending the storytelling of Country with the rhythmic complexity of Metal, this group is redefining what "International Standard" music sounds like in 2026.
The Pedigree: A Lineup of Legends
To understand the hype behind Wiley and the Coyotes, you have to look at the foundations. This is a "Supergroup" in every sense of the word, representing the elite tier of the Colorado music scene.
- Wiley Lowe (Lead Vocals / Rhythm Guitar):
Before forming the Coyotes, Wiley Lowe dominated the tribute circuit, most notably as the driving force behind The Pot—Denver’s premier Tool tribute band (2020–2022). He further honed his technical edge with Vitamin Red (Chevelle tribute) from 2023 to 2026. This transition from progressive metal to "Grit-Country" gives the band an edge that is unheard of in the genre.
- Tim Dahlen (Bass / Vocals):
A true industry veteran, Tim Dahlen brings the legacy of Emissary—the cult-favorite American Power Metal band—to the table. Beyond his metal roots, Tim is a vocal titan, leading the charge for Shotgun Opera (Linkin Park tribute) and The Original Pranksters (The Offspring tribute). His ability to command a stage is legendary.
- Phil Franco (Drums):
The heartbeat of the band, Phil Franco, comes with a deep-seated reputation in the Denver scene. A former member of the hard-hitting band Gravel, Phil also shared the stage with Wiley in Vitamin Red. His drumming provides the explosive, precise foundation that allows the band to bridge the gap between heavy riffs and country rhythms. - Follow: @Phillippefranco

Quality is never an accident. To ensure their debut EP meets international standards, the band collaborated with Grammy Award-winning producer and engineer Dave Hagen. With additional songwriting contributions from Michael Hawes and Layne Lowe, the project is being polished to compete on a global scale. This isn't just a local release; it’s a portfolio piece for the world stage, matching the high-fidelity expectations of audiences in the USA, UK, France, and Nigeria.
