Shades of gospel, shades of grunge, but at the music's heart are acoustic guitar and words of value.
Bio / Background
Michael Munnik was always going to be a novelist. But at a car show in Mill Bay, British Columbia in 1994, his best friend stuck a branch in the spokes of that bicycle. He suggested they start a grunge band - Ira could play the bass, Mike could play the guitar. For six months, they wrote pages and pages of lyrics. Then they got their instruments and learned how to play them. Threw those lyrics away and started writing songs. Songs became a far more comfortable medium for Michael's expression - it was like sticking a novel in a pan and simmering it until only the best elements of the story were left, then singing it to other people and watching them respond right away.
Since then, he's put the grunge... not exactly behind him, but it shares space with folk, roots, country and whatever else comes to mind. He left the West Coast for Ottawa, Ontario, where he found a new musical community and new stages to play on.
