Sophie Coyote

Sophie Coyote is a singer-songwriter from Waddams Grove, Illinois, a quiet Midwestern pocket where old farmhouses sit back from long stretches of field and sky. Growing up in that wide-open landscape, she was surrounded by a mix of sounds that ran from classic rock and roll to honky-tonk country, with a healthy streak of blues woven in for grit.

Those early influences didn’t so much blend as collide and reshape each other, eventually forming her own songwriting voice—rooted in storytelling, driven by lyrics, and marked by sharp turns of phrase and unexpected wordplay. Her songs tend to lean into that older tradition of unpolished honesty, where the narrative carries as much weight as the melody.
