About this event

LOGAN METZ with special guest SOPHIE COYOTE

Metz is a musician, educator, and general polymath based in the American midwest. He moved to Los Angeles at 18, studied screenwriting and philosophy at Loyola Marymount University. After graduating, he worked as a music & English teacher in east LA, while touring and recording with a number of local bands.

During this time he developed a creative and academic interest in the process of adapting classic literature into music, he wrote plays, essays, poems, soundtracks and children’s albums, and would even go on to publish musical collaborations with Nigerian playwright & Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka.

In 2015 Metz earned a master’s degree from the University of Chicago — his thesis, a full-length 1960’s rock-opera adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello — and soon after released his first solo album.

In 2018 Metz won a Fulbright scholarship to teach at IE University in Madrid, but turned down the award in favor of re-joining his old college friends’ band, Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real, as a multi-instrumentalist. Since then he has had the honor of playing with Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Joe Walsh, Jimmy Buffett, Eddie Vedder, Warren Haynes, Robby Krieger, John Densmore, Mike McCready, Bob Weir, and in 2023 began playing piano on tour with Willie Nelson himself.

**Sophie Coyote** is a singer songwriter with a style reminiscent of the raw & honest age of music; lyrically driven, interesting stories, unique twists and word-play
