Ian Munsick at the Big Wyoming Show
The Sweetwater Events Complex is thrilled to bring Wyoming-born singer-songwriter Ian Munsick to the stage at Wyoming’s Big Show. Munsick will play Thursday, August 4 at 8:30 p.m.
Breathing the fresh air of the Rocky Mountains into the Nashville music scene, Ian Munsick is pioneering a new brand of country. Under the tutelage of their violinist father, Munsick and his two older brothers grew up playing everything from bluegrass to the Beatles. Incorporating elements across genres, he has now begun to establish himself as a progressive artist with an old soul. Captivated by traditional lyrical truth and the modern soundscape, Munsick followed his ear to Music City. In 2017, he released a self-titled EP, winning iHeartRadio’s Rocky Mountain Song of the Year for the rootsy “Horses Are Faster” and becoming the only artist to simultaneously qualify two tracks as songwriting contest finalists. NSAI/CMT songs.
Fast forward to 2021: Munsick signed a major record deal with Warner Music Nashville, earned 115 million global streams and was named one of Spotify’s first Hot Country Artists to Watch. His debut album Coyote Cry, out now, features his high-end tenor outlining self-penned songs that evoke both epic adventure and down-to-earth wisdom. The record marks the dawn of western country pop, drawing a thread straight from Chris LeDoux to Post Malone.
Munsick’s debut single, “Long Haul,” which was the most added new artist single on country radio impact, charted twice on Spotify’s US Viral 50 and was praised for its “tenor moving” and his “wonderful sense of melody” (MusicRow). Fans will not fail to discover that with Ian Munsick, the country western is reborn.
Wyoming’s Big Show Thursday is sponsored by Genesis Alkali and Little America of Wyoming with support from Explore Rock Springs & Green River. The Sweetwater Events Complex previously announced Mitchell Tenpenny for Tuesday August 2, Little River Band for Wednesday August 3 and The Band Perry for Saturday August 6. There is only one concert announcement left for 2022. Watch for the final announcement next Thursday.
