Winona’s own Mike Munson is an adept slide guitar player with a reverence for the history and evolution of American music. Joined by percussionist extraordinaire, Lars-Erik Larson, the two bring years of experience and an inclination for improvisation to the stage. Together they explore new territory, creating a sound that dances between early American rock and roll, gritty blues and modern jazz.
Mike Munson makes his home in the small river town of Winona, Minnesota. He has had the honor of opening for the renowned Mavis Staples (2022), performing at the Montreal International Jazz Festival (2022), Waterfront Blues Festival (Portland, OR, 2018), and the Vancouver Folk Fest (2018). His Americana duo with Jake Ilika, “Land at Last” is a regional favorite and he regularly collaborates with a variety of performers on both guitar and bass.
With his fourth release, Rose Hill (2018, Blue Front Records) Munson traced the country blues tradition to its birthplace, recording at the Blue Front Cafe in Bentonia, Mississippi. Studying under and performing alongside Grammy nominee Jimmy “Duck” Holmes has informed Munson’s style and refined his craft. Munson has a deep love of all forms of American music, but blues is the undercurrent of his creativity.
Mike Munson is an adept slide guitar player who has built a career on solid songwriting and a reverence for tradition. He deftly blends dark lyrics, intricate finger-picking and hypnotic rhythms. His sound marks the similarities and highlights the distance between blues, American primitive guitar and early rock and roll. Munson released his sixth full-length album, “Let Some Light In” in 2021 and consistently uses the cold, winter months to record new, original material.
