The Munsick Boys, a Sheridan, Wyoming-based family ensemble, have solidified their place as a cornerstone in the realm of western entertainment. From their early days of making music together under the guidance of patriarch Dave, who instilled a love for music in his sons, the Munsick Boys have evolved into accomplished musicians in their own right. Each member of the band possesses a multitude of talents, excelling in singing, playing multiple instruments, and collaborating to push the boundaries of western roots music.
Dave, a former New Mexico State Fiddle Champion and seasoned band leader, infuses his compositions with tales of timeless landscapes and boundless horizons. Tris, renowned as the leader of Tris Munsick and The Innocents, captivates audiences with his narratives of the western experience, earning accolades such as album of the year nominations for both Wyoming and the Rocky Mountain region. Sam draws from his deep-rooted cowboy heritage to craft songs that resonate with authenticity and tradition, while Ian blazes trails in western music innovation from his base in Nashville.
Despite their individual successes, The Munsick Boys remain grounded by their family ties and the unwavering support of their mother, Trudy. As they navigate the challenges of the music industry, they draw on their ranching background for resilience and perseverance, embodying Dave's philosophy of pressing forward in the face of adversity.
The Munsick Boys' distinctive sound-a harmonious blend of open-sky folk and classic country-has garnered widespread acclaim among aficionados of western culture. Their performances, characterized by soul-stirring melodies and evocative storytelling, have earned them coveted opportunities to open for acclaimed acts such as Lyle Lovett and Suzy Bogguss. In recognition of their contributions to the genre, the band was honored as the 2016 Western Band of the Year by the Academy of Western Artists in Fort Worth, Texas.
