Mike Munson - Fat Hill Brewing
Winona-based Mike Munson is an adept slide guitar player who has built a career on head-turning songwriting and a reverence for tradition. He deftly blends thoughtful lyrics, intricate finger-picking and hypnotic rhythms. His sound marks the three-way intersection between blues, American primitive guitar, and early rock and roll.
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 released his sixth full-length album, “Let Some Light In” in 2021.
No admission fee.
