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.

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.
