Anishinaabe roots-rock singer-songwriter Graeme Jonez's new single, “Hey Coyote!” was inspired by the coyotes that wandered into his Toronto neighbourhood after being displaced from their natural habitat. The song serves as both a warning to the animals and a reflection on the ment on wildlife. Drawing on his Anishinaabe roots and storytelling traditions, Jonez uses his music to share messages about our relationship with the natural world.
