Rich Coyle
Keyboardist
Rich began his musical journey at the tender age of 5, when he received his first “Realistic” turntable stereo system as a Christmas gift from his parents, who also possessed a wide variety of legendary classic rock albums, which he listened to on a regular basis.
He then turned his focus to the piano, and fortunately for Rich, there was a beautiful upright Yamaha piano available to him in his own living room, where he started to figure out various melodies. This was enough for his Mom to arrange weekly piano lessons which would last throughout his childhood and teenage years as he continued to play along with records and refining his piano skills.
Rich joined his first band in his 20s playing shows, and he eventually found himself engaged with some of the most sought after tribute acts, covering legendary music artist such as Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, and currently Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young with Four Way Street.
