Stevie Coyle

steviecoyle

Stevie Coyle (late of the whiz-bang string band The Waybacks) is one lucky bum. His dad ran a radio station in southern California and brought home all the promo LPs that didn't fit the Spanish-language format. The Ventures' "Guitar Freakout," "The fifty Guitars of Tommy Garrett and Alvin and The Chipmunks Play the Beatles' Hits all came home on a single day. It didn't hurt, either, that string-meister David Lindley played in a bluegrass band that rehearsed right next door and gave Stevie his very first lessons, or that his dear Granny was a pianist in the heyday of Vaudeville and that his sainted mother was a whiz in mandolin orchestras during the 1930s.

Not even several years of playing folk masses every Sunday could quash his musical spirit, and in high school he began fingerpicking, inspired - as so many were - by that first Hot Tuna album. After securing degrees in Theatre and Theology at Santa Clara University, Stevie hit the road for 3 years with The Royal Lichtenstein Circus. Once back home, he signed on as actor and stage manager for The San Jose Repertory Company. He announced killer whale shows. His best friend was an elephant.

While in Los Angeles, Stevie appeared on Cheers and in many television commercials and had a regular role on The Young and The Restless. Settling in the San Francisco Bay Area, Stevie continued his acting career, doing commercials, radio, voiceovers and films. In 1999 he co-founded The Waybacks and toured steadily with them from 2001 through 2007. During that time, the band released 4 albums, played major festivals like Merlefest, Gray Fox, Floydfest and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and collaborated with Llyod Maines, Michelle Shocked and Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead.
