On the first day of the federal government shutdown, the Trump administration froze "roughly $18 billion" in infrastructure projects for New York City, home to two of Trump's Democratic congressional opponents. It's not the first time Trump has threatened city funding over politics.

Government shutdowns lasting more than a few days were relatively rare — until recently. The 2018-2019 shutdown was the longest in U.S. history, stretching on for five weeks.

Coyote Island is the musical vision of producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Mike O’Hehir. For many years, Mike traveled the country with a guitar in hand, collecting sounds and ideas. Upon returning home to Maine, he began the process of pouring his heart into recordings. With roots in folk music, the sound quickly expanded into a new genre-bending realm of psychedelic indie. Mike assembled a band of brothers to capture the expansive soundscape in a live setting, and from this, Coyote Island was born. With the release of their first hit single, “Here Before,” the band quickly gained fans around the globe. Their live performance has been described as both “electric” and “transportive.” With good vibrations, danceable grooves, and tropical psychedelia, Coyote Island offers a sonic vacation from the doldrums of existence.
