This week, “A Change of Tune” host Joni Deutsch interviews Kyle Baughman (drums, vocals) and Steve Holland (vocals, bass) from the indie rock band Coyotes in Boxes. The band is currently based in Nashville, but these Box-loving Coyotes still have a fond place in their heart for their alma mater (Marshall University), their hometown musical heroes (Sly Roosevelt, Tyler Childers, Qiet), and their home state (West Virginia). Check out the interview below to hear more about Coyotes in Boxes’ new record, the band’s West Virginia roots, and why they think animal imagery reflects their music. If you’re a fan of rhythm-based alternative rock in the same vein as Manchester Orchestra, this interview and music are recommended for you.
Coyotes in Boxes just released “Yowler” this past August. You can see the band perform at the Huntington Music & Arts Festival preshow on September 26 at the Heritage Station. If you’re in the mood for great (and local) live music, head on over to A Change of Tune’s Facebook to find out how you can win tickets to the Huntington Music & Arts Festival. Otherwise, you can hear Coyotes in Boxes’ new music on Joni Deutsch’s “A Change of Tune” this Saturday at 10 PM EST on West Virginia Public Radio.

We once again hear from Kay, this time speaking with one of the panelists — Marshall University political science professor George Davis — about why revisiting the nation’s founding story still matters.

Us & Them host Trey Kay will moderate the event, and he spoke recently with WVPB News Director Eric Douglas about why revisiting the nation’s founding story matters today. Also, a bill to temporarily delay moving a child to homeschooling during an active case of abuse or neglect hit a snag in the Senate on Monday.
Continue Reading Take Me to More NewsOne of America’s pioneering filmmakers had nothing to do with Hollywood but nevertheless left his mark on the emerging industry. Oscar Micheaux was a homesteader, who then turned his attention to making movies in the early 1900s. He was a Black man who made movies for Black audiences at a time when they weren’t allowed into mainstream, white-only theaters. And for several pivotal years in the 1920s, he operated out of Roanoke, Virginia.
