Angie Coyle is a jazz musician, composer, and educator based in Cincinnati, Ohio. She currently has one album out under her name entitled "Far From Home," that is made up entirely of her original compositions. Her music is emotive, heart-centered, and melody-driven. She has a deep connection with nature, and often writes music that evokes the natural world. Angie performs with various different groups in the Cincinnati area, but her primary project is her jazz quartet that she leads and composes for.
Angie graduated from the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music in 2018 with her Master's degree in Jazz Studies. Prior to that, she received her Bachelor's degree in Saxophone Performance from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, where she studied classical and jazz saxophone, as well as classical flute and clarinet.
