RISING OKLAHOMA BASED ARTIST
KEN POMEROY PERFORMS NEW SONG “COYOTE” ON WESTERN AF

October 23, 2024—Rising folk artist Ken Pomeroy is featured on Western AF today performing her new song, “Coyote.” Filmed in her home state of Oklahoma, the video showcases Pomeroy’s powerful storytelling and engaging voice. Watch/share HERE.

Last week, Pomeroy released the studio version of “Coyote” via Rounder Records, which features special guest John Moreland—listen/share HERE. Moreland’s appearance on “Coyote” is fateful for Pomeroy; growing up in Oklahoma, she recalls listening to Moreland, who she describes as a songwriting hero, on her iPod at the age of 12. Reaching out via social media years later, Pomeroy asked Moreland to record vocals on her new track. He said yes, and went further, inviting Pomeroy on tour with him following the release of his album.

The track features the pair’s vocals in tandem over Pomeroy’s deft guitar and a full band arrangement with bass, electric guitar, banjo, pedal steel and drums—see full credits below.

Of the song, Pomeroy reflects, “My Mamaw named me ᎤᏍᏗ ᏀᏯ ᏓᎶᏂᎨ ᎤᏍᏗᎦ which means little yellow-haired wolf in Cherokee. BUT I was called coyote because I was sly. I wrote coyote about me realizing I had grown to be the coyote and not the wolf. My Mamaw is a very prominent part of who I am. She taught me about my heritage and allowed me to grow up learning tribal customs and stories. This one is for her.”

“Coyote” follows Pomeroy’s appearance in the hit film Twisters, in which she performed a cover of “Wall of Death” that made its way onto the official soundtrack, and FX and Hulu’s Reservation Dogs, which featured her soul-mining gem “Cicadas.”
