Ian Munsick collabs with University of Wyoming graduate | Music City Minute

Here is a made-in-Wyoming music moment: Sheridan native and country star Ian Munsick has teamed up with Cheyenne native and recent University of Wyoming graduate Jacob Walker for a special down-home collaboration. When Munsick’s team asked UW’s Western Thunder Marching Band to perform his song “Love Is Blind,” Walker answered the call to create the arrangement. Boy howdy, it was a perfect fit. Walker spent four years with Western Thunder, earned degrees in music education and music performance this spring, and started arranging marching-band music while he was a UW student. The two Wyoming musicians finally met after the band performed the song in late August, giving Munsick a chance to hear Walker’s work and personally compliment the arrangement. Looking back, Munsick admits his journey from a wide-eyed buckaroo watching UW football games, to hearing his music played by the Western Thunder Marching Band, and the honor of receiving an official Western Thunder letter jacket is the ultimate full-circle moment.
