Bio
David Munyon is a Singer/Songwriter, born August 19th 1952, in Newport, Rhode Island/USA to Chet and Lola Mae Munyon, the last of five children. His dad was a NASA Engineer and his mom was a preacher's daughter. David lives in an old trailer that used to belong to Hank Williams Sr., at "Om Field" in Midland City, Alabama. David has been playing music since he was 12 years old. He played for tips and meals for 15 years in Nashville, Tennessee, California and Florida while his wife Dixie worked as a waitress, and they, along with the famous producer Greg Humphrey and J.D. Hicks and Bruce Hicks recorded their first CD, titled: "Code Name:Jumper", in 1990. This CD has some great musicians on it, to include Warren Haynes, Matt Rollings, Leland Sklar, Sneaky Pete, Al Perkins and Anthony Crawford. The CD was promoted in Europe by Glitterhouse Records and re-mastered by Günter Pauler. People seemed to like the CD, and so many more CDs were developed and produced by Glitterhouse, Stockfisch-Records and of course his own UK based Record-Label Mobile Home Records. Some "Solo Acoustic" and some with great European musicians, to include Chris Jones (R.I.P.) and several of the best musicians on the planet. David has toured Europe several times, always playing Solo Acoustic from 1992 on and he has many fans and friends over there. David Munyon is a "topical writer" much like many of the Folk Legends and Roots Artists of todays Acoustic Tradition. David is a writer, performer, painter, artist, poet and farmer. He humbly promotes the book "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda. David has Songs that are performed by Eric Burdon, Rick Travino and Jennifer Warnes. He has worked shows, in the past, with Bill Monroe, Suzanne Vega, Richie Havens, THE BAND, The Drifters and the truely talented Terry Lee Hale and Joseph Parsons and Daniel Putnam Green, Warren Haynes, Gene Gillespie and many others. "David Munyon Songs are great!", says Rolling Stone Magazine in Germany. David says "I just ask God to help me write a good song for the folks and I just hold the guitar and pencil" and says "I'm very grateful for everything!" He's hopeful that his Songs may, in some way, bring happiness and comfort to people in this world and maybe, if we all work together, we can stop some of the pollution in the air, and maybe clean up the rivers and streams and the oceans and spread some love and harmony... and promote peace! David adds: "Prayer is a Powerful Thing! Years ago, I was homeless and just look what people's prayers have done for me, my wife's prayers and my friends and family's prayers, all that I've today from the generosity of my friends worldwide. I still ask everyone to pray for me. "What is my message? I don't know", says David Munyon "Perhaps Love and Forgiveness, Forgiveness for everyone, up to 77 times a day and love and good coffee and Peace!" Some interesting quotes about David Munyon: "Probably one of the best Songwriters ever!" Brian Wilson "This guy works harder than any musician I've ever seen" Leon Russell "He's a Bluesman, and a Folkie, and a Rocker, and he's my friend" Warren Haynes "David is a Preacher" Johnny Cash "David Munyon?...I think he owes me money!" Townes Van Zandt "I met him once, I almost recorded one of his Songs, but they were too long" Willie Nelson "Dave Munyon to me is one of the last remaining mysteries on the planet. We've never met but I feel that I know him personally due to the wonderful, modern day white boy Blues Songs that he conjures up. Dave and his wife Dixie ARE the Southern States. Hope we can meet some day!" Eric Burdon "He's a great Songwriter and Singer, I think he's still tryin' to quit smoking" John Prine "David's pretty good....I hope he lives to be 100, like me" Bob Hope Official David Munyon Discography (so far): • CodeName: Jumper (1990 original release; 1993 – Glitterhouse Records) • Stories from the curve: Christian Hill Community, Alabama (1995 – Glitterhouse Records) • Acrylic Teepees (1996 – Glitterhouse Records) • Slim Possibilities (1996 – Stockfisch Records) • Down to the wire (1997 – Glitterhouse Records) • Poet Wind (1998 – Stockfisch Records) • Songs From A Mobile Home, Pretty Much Feng Shui (2001 – Mobile Home Records) • From the shade of the Big Mamosa (2001; remastered 2008 – Mobile Home Records) • More Songs for Planet Earth (2004 – Stockfisch Records) • Seven leaves in a blue bowl of water (2004 – Stockfisch Records) • Two Billion Banjo Blues, Songs for Eric Burdon (2004 – Mobile Home Records) • Song for Danko (2006 – Mobile Home Records) • Too Cool – Hymns from Ozark via Adelaide Street (2007 – Mobile Home Records) • Dogs sleeping (Early 70ies album; re-released in 2007, available only for download via iTunes) • For lovin' someone: Early Acoustic (Early 70ies album; re-released in 2007, available only for download via iTunes) • Some Songs for Mary (2008 – Mobile Home Records) • Big Shoes (2009 – Stockfisch Records) • Searchin' for the heart of the Heartlands (DVD/CD package; 2009 – Continental Record Services) • Meanwhile back in Japan (2010 – Mobile Home Records) • Pretty Blue (2011 – Stockfisch Records) • Midwest (2012 – Tate Music Group)
