About Me |
|
| Michael Munnik's music centres on his cheap acoustic guitar - the same one he used to patch through a distortion pedal and play drop-d punk tunes on all those years ago in Nanaimo, BC. The songs follow the time-justified tradition of strumming and singing. He draws inspiration from the places he has walked and lived - the coast of British Columbia, an ancient pilgrim trail in Spain, or a second-floor apartment looking onto rainy Bronson Avenue. He brings to his tunes the poet's love of beauty, the journalist's attention to the telling detail, the theologian's continual struggle to describe the ineffable. | |

Ukulele wizard |

Prodigy? |
