Classic country singer and Calgary performance artist, Matt Masters, has co-created a multimedia western cabaret musical called Don Coyote. Watch and listen to Masters and his six piece western orchestra tell the tale of Don Coyote, while Calgary artist Terrance Houle's original video projections provide a changing and dynamic backdrop.

Don Coyote is a 21st-century resident of southern Alberta who sees himself as a cowboy troubadour, roaming rural Alberta while singing songs and righting wrongs. Don Coyote's story is not a re-telling of Don Quixote but draws inspiration and parallels from it, examining reality through different perspectives. Themes of illusion, honour and loyalty are examined in nine songs and stories about Don Coyote, his sidekick Sancho and the Cowboy Code.

Co-produced by Glenbow Museum, the Illingworth Kerr Gallery at the Alberta College of Art + Design and Sled Island Music Festival.
