Joe Samba & Coyote Island at the Siren

Mike O’Hehir, the man at the heart of Coyote Island, is an old soul, but the music he’s crafted with his band and growing collection of diverse collaborators is as fresh as anything going today. From the breezy and bouncy mix of Caribbean beats and contemporary pop production that blasted “Here Before” into the post-pandemic public consciousness to the meditative and moody organ that makes “Shine through the Darkness” a glimmering beacon for lost souls, his songs are mood enhancements and attitude adjustments — perfect for a generation of music lovers looking for a path forward.
