“SHERIDAN, WY. Gary Small & the Coyote’ Bros have been nominated for “Artist of the Year” and “Best World Music Album” at the 14th annual Native American Music Awards (NAMA). The group secured the nominations for their most recent album, “Hostiles & Renegades”, which has yet again earned the band national attention. The well-known local group, and Gary Small in particular, is no stranger to the NAMA award process, having been voted “Songwriter of the Year” in 2002, “Rock Album of the Year” in 2007, and “Best Male Artist” in 2011. In addition to these awards, the band’s 6 albums have garnered numerous other nominations including “Best Blues/Jazz Recording” on no less than three separate years. The band’s style, often described as Carlos Santana meets Bob Marley, has been refined through diligent practice and years of experience, and it clearly pays off. The current band has been recording together since 2005, and before that Gary Small led the Gary”

— Adam Bunker, Bighorn Mountain Radeo

“As a guitarist, Gary Small is a Santana acolyte possessed of a fine tightly controlled vibrato demonstrated vibrantly in his ballad "All For You." But "American Icon and other originals whow him to be a thoughtful writer of ear-pleasing Native American-themed songs that also blend latino and reggae rhythms.”

— R.A., Vintage Guitar Magazine

“His latest CD, Hostiles & Renegades, presents both a step forward and a return to roots for Gary. His guitar playing is again set off by his vocal presence in the music, which has a reggae beat that reminds me of the years I spent in the New Orleans music scene......part Caribbean, but with a New Orleans-styled pace that gets your feet tapping. Yes, there is the similarity in guitar style at times to Carlos Santana that is unmistakable, but this is no surprise to anyone who has followed Gary's career. After all, his first CD included ex-Santana drummer, Graham Lear. There are no apologies here for any similarities. Gary is his own man and marches to his own passionate drumbeat. The Coyote Brothers, also Native-Americans, are a talented group who give solid performances on their respective instruments. The "Brothers" are a great match for Gary's frontman status, giving backbone and life to his original compositions. ”

— Brian Scherzer, TG Webzine

“After a few albums that veered more toward his rockabilly side, Gary Small’s latest effort, “Hostiles & Renegades,” takes us back to the sound of his debut, and with great results. That album, 2002’s “Wild Indians,” was a blend of vocal and instrumental; Latin and reggae; and strong songwriting. That songwriting was good enough to earn Small his first of three NAMMYS, the Native American Music Association’s annual awards. One listen and there will be no doubt whether NAMMYS were flukes or not. ”

— Scott Prinzing, The Billings Out Post

“Sheridan based, Nammy award-winning musician Gary Small has released a new record called "Hostiles and Renegades." Anna Rader produced this profile. ”

“Gary Small and The Coyote Brothers have come back from New York with another Nammy Award. The Nammy is the Native American equivalent to the Grammy’s. History had once again repeated itself for the band at last Friday evening's Native American Music Awards. Small took home the Best Male Artist award and was nominated for Best Rock Recording. Small says the Nammys offer artists a chance to really appreciate their work… Small says living in a small town makes it harder to be noticed… "It takes three planes and a couple thousand dollars to make it out to the Seneca Niagara Hotel and Casino in Niagara Falls New York, where the show is held," says Small, "Being both Native American, and a professional musician, I think its a very important award. I don't think Native American musicians would be where they are without this organization." He adds that he is always looking forward to his next show, and continues to have nothing but praise for the Native American Music Awards.”

— Bighorn Mountain Radio, Bighorn Mountain Radio

“Gary Small’s voracious appetite for music began at a very young age.“Music has always been first and foremost to me,” said Small in a recent interview. “I’ve really loved Santana. I remember learning all those licks in my room and saying to myself, ‘I don’t know why I’m learning this music. I’m never going to find a drummer that is that good.’” Long story short, Small headed to Portland to be a part of its tremendous blues scene. It was there he met and recruited that very drummer he had been listening to all along, Graham Lear, drummer for Santana for 12 years. "...at that time, I was working heavily on an album called ‘Wild Indians.’” “Wild Indians” Small’s third CD, released in 2001, earned him national acclaim as a solo artist, and the prestigious Native American Music Award for Songwriter of the Year. Small returned to his hometown of Sheridan to care for his ailing father and formed his current band, Gary Small and the Coyote Brothers”
