The Mike Munson Trio joyfully traverses the melancholic corners of American music much like Edward Hopper did with a paintbrush on canvas. Creating an incomparable rhythm section of three, Munson is joined by Nick Salisbury on bass and Lars-Erik Larson on drums. Together they explore Munson’s newest original compositions, transportive jazz-like instrumentals and tragic Americana ballads, exhibiting a symmetry that is easy on the ears.
