The Rich

CD Album CoverRichard Del Connor
was a punk rocker from 1978 to 1980.
That makes Coyote one of the "ORIGINAL AMERICAN PUNK ROCKERS."

Power rock trio. Punk Pop. Beatles on adrenaline.

Rock band with horns. Oingo Boingo. Eclectic and unique song arrangements fronted by Richard O'Connor as lead singer. John Wayne and Mick Jagger?

Then came the COYOTE IN A GRAVEYARD rock opera in 1985. This was when Richard O'Connor became "Coyote."
