About the artists
ABOUT THE Mike Munson Trio
The Mike Munson Trio (formed in 2023) elevates and enhances Mike's rich catalog of songs that feature his adept slide guitar playing and a reverence for tradition. He is joined by the powerful rhythm section, comprised of Nick Salisbury on bass and Lars-Erik Larson on drums. Each member brings 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.
Pete Sandker
Inspired by the hills and hollows near his childhood goat farm in Southwestern Minnesota, award-winning watercolor artist Pete Sandker returned home after a stint in Maine working a blueberry farm. Deeply inspired by the flora and fauna around him, Pete's delicate details are all done by hand, with a steady hand, very pointy brush and a heart of gold.
