MANKATO, Minn. – Minnesota State University, Mankato's Department of Music & Entertainment Industries will present roots/blues musician Mike Munson in concert 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 27 in Halling Recital Hall of the Earley Center for Performing Arts, 320 Maywood Avenue.

Munson has established himself as a member of the next generation of bluesmen to carry on a tradition some feared was dying out. His music is a master class in creative blues composition and performance, never losing sight of his art form or the music’s roots.

Making his home in the Mississippi River town of Winona, Minnesota, Munson is well known for his slide guitar expertise, making regular appearances throughout the Midwest. The driving rhythms in his songs are reminiscent of the trains that barrel through his neighborhood.

General admission for the concert is $10. Minnesota State Mankato students are admitted free with a valid MavCARD.
