Ian Munsick Releases “Horses Not Hearts” Official Music Video

April 21, 2025

On the heels of releasing his third studio album, Eagle Feather, via Warner Music Nashville on Friday (April 18), Ian Munsick is debuting the official music video for “Horses Not Hearts” today. Watch below.

Highlighted by Rolling Stone as a “tongue-in-cheek, high-tempo promise of love,” “Horses Not Hearts” was written by Andy Albert, Michael Tyler and Ben Stennis, and debunks the common trope that often paints cowboys as heartbreakers on the run.

The music video, directed by Dustin Haney, was filmed across Sheridan, Wyoming and Decker, Montana. The video opens with renowned horse trainer and Munsick’s family friend Buck Brannaman, affectionately referred to as “The Horse Whisperer,” intertwining the transferable life lessons that come with the process of breaking a horse.

Throughout the 3:49, the video conveys the passing of time in a relationship, panning between Brannaman and his wife, Mary, while starring Reata and Gabe Clark as the younger version of the couple, ultimately conveying the steadfastness of their love.

The “Horses Not Hearts” music video follows the release of the official music video for “Feather In My Hat ft. Lainey Wilson” on April 18. Billboard notes of the duet that Wilson and Munsick’s “sonorous renderings infuse the song with a soulful charisma,” while American Songwriter applauds the song’s “heart-swelling language.”

For a good portion of 2024, Munsick was on the road with Wilson. While on the road, he cooked up the deeply personal and delicately poignant “Feather In My Hat.” Munsick knew that if Wilson lent her vocals, it would give it another layer of emotional depth. After a show at New York City’s legendary Radio City Music Hall, Munsick asked Wilson if she’d contribute her vocals. The answer was a resounding yes.

Eagle Feather was produced by Munsick, Jared Conrad and Jeremy Spillman, and features 20 tracks, including duets with Wilson and Flatland Cavalry lead singer Cleto Cordero, with songwriter credits by fellow singer/songwriters Caitlyn Smith and Stephen Wilson Jr. as well as two rare outside cuts in “Drink Around” and “Horses Not Hearts.”

Munsick debuted songs off the album at The Pinnacle in Nashville on Thursday, April 17 alongside surprise guests Cleto Cordero, Lainey Wilson, Stephen Wilson Jr. and Ryan Charles. The set left The Tennessean praising Munsick as “a virtuoso entertainer.”

Ian Munsick Releases 3rd Studio Album, ‘Eagle Feather’

April 18, 2025

When Wyoming native Ian Munsick performed his sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheatre debut last year, a surprise on-stage adoption by the Crow Tribe moved him to his core, setting him on a creative trajectory toward his third album. Inspired by the gifts his Native friends presented him that night, including an eagle feather he proudly wears in his hat, the concept and title of Eagle Feather was born.

Listen to Eagle Feather, available everywhere now, HERE.

Eagle Feather is the culmination of a three-part thematic trilogy where Munsick used animals as inspirational spirits, which started with Coyote Cry, his debut album. With the eagle feather representing honor, strength and wisdom, it highlights Munsick’s personal growth through life experiences and lessons learned that have shaped him into who he is.

“If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been listening to my music for at least a couple years. Some of you have probably even been spreading the word of the west for a decade. No matter what side of the coin you’re on, Eagle Featheris for YOU,” Munsick proclaims. “I can confidently say that this is the best album I’ve made. But it’s not mine anymore… it’s yours.

“All the countless hours we spent pondering lyrics, crafting melodies and tweaking tones were all because we want you to love every second of this project,” he adds. “You have blessed my career beyond belief. Thank you will never be enough, but hopefully this album will. Your next favorite song of mine awaits.”

Eagle Feather opens with the first of three Prairie Laments that bookend the project, appearing at the beginning, middle and end. Setting the tone for the album, Munsick longingly declares his love for Wyoming, and his desire to set his legacy there.

In between, Munsick sets forward the pillars upon which the album’s meaning and message are based: honor, love and authenticity, which in turn, is a code of how to live.

Tapping into his friends was pivotal for this album, as evident in the title track, co-written with singer-songwriter Stephen Wilson Jr. Getting together to write on a late afternoon in Nashville, Munsick shared with him the honor of being adopted into the Crow Tribe. As he listened, Wilson started to play his gut string in his unique tuning. From that, Wilson said, “Gave you my heart like eagle feather,” and just like that, a song was formed.

For a good portion of 2024, Munsick was on the road with another rising Wilson: Lainey. While on the road, he cooked up the deeply personal and delicately poignant “Feather In My Hat.” Munsick knew that if Wilson lent her vocals, it would give it another layer of emotional depth. After a show at New York City’s legendary Radio City Music Hall, Munsick asked Wilson if she’d contribute her vocals. The answer was a resounding yes.

Watch the “Feather In My Hat” official music video, out now, below.

Munsick was also able to draw from personal experiences and stories to show how life’s little moments can be its most impactful. One example of this can be found on “Wolf Creek Road,” a powerful moment where Munsick reflects on a true story after a night out at the rodeo when he was a teenager, when he had a close call and rolled his car. His father, none too pleased, drove him back to that area to show him a wooden cross on the side of the road and didn’t say a word. For Munsick, the silence was deafening and said everything. That “what might have been if you weren’t careful” moment is somberly reflected throughout the song’s gut-wrenching four minutes.

The heaviness of the album culminates in its last track, “The Gate.” The track features three generations of Munsicks, with his father and young son participating in the intro and outro, symbolizing leaving the world, or in this case, the gate, just as good as you found it.

To commemorate the album’s release, Munsick partnered with Montana Silversmiths to launch an exclusive jewelry collection featuring unique pieces that blend traditional Western style with contemporary flair, available now exclusively at Boot Barn Nashville stores and BootBarn.com.

Ian Munsick and Montana Silversmiths Launch Exclusive Jewelry Collection at Boot Barn

April 14, 2025

Wyoming native Ian Munsick has partnered with Montana Silversmiths to launch an exclusive jewelry collection featuring unique pieces that blend traditional Western style with contemporary flair, available exclusively at Boot Barn Nashville stores and BootBarn.com starting on Thursday, April 17, ahead of the release of Munsick’s third studio album Eagle Feather, available Friday, April 18 via Warner Music Nashville.

The collection showcases four standout pieces: the White Buffalo Bolo Tie, Eagle Feather Buckle, Cloudy Mountain Cuff Bracelet, and the Blacktooth Cuff Bracelet. Each item is meticulously crafted to reflect the rugged spirit of the American West and the artistry of Montana Silversmiths, the first installment of a line sure to become a mainstay in country and western fashion.

“Nothing defines the west like those born and raised in it,” shares Munsick. “Its tradition lives through us and its survival depends on us. That’s why this collaboration with Montana Siversmiths is so authentic; we are both western natives. When I see these pieces we’ve created, I’m immediately transported back into the culture that made me who I am.”

To celebrate this exciting launch, Boot Barn will host a special event at their 2nd Avenue store in Nashville on April 17th from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, ahead of Munsick’s concert at The Pinnacle that night, celebrating the release of Eagle Feather.

As Ian continues to push boundaries in both fashion and music, we believe this partnership marks the beginning of an extraordinary journey and very much look forward to bringing this line to the masses.”

With the 2023 release of White Buffalo, Munsick spread the Rocky Mountain gospel with his raw, untamed depiction of the American West and expands on the concepts of the land, people, culture and stories that inspire him with his 20-track follow-up Eagle Feather.

While the white buffalo represents prosperity and rebirth, the eagle feather is inspired by the native symbol representing honor, strength and wisdom, and serves as a continuation of his sophomore project by highlighting Munsick’s personal growth through life experiences and lessons learned that have shaped him into who he is.

Produced by Munsick, Jared Conrad and Jeremy Spillman, Eagle Feather features duets with Lainey Wilson and Flatland Cavalry lead singer Cleto Cordero, with songwriter credits by fellow singer/songwriters Caitlyn Smith and Stephen Wilson Jr., as well as two rare outside cuts in “Drink Around” and “Horses Not Hearts.”

The Ian Munsick x Montana Silversmiths collection, available exclusively at Boot Barn Nashville stores only and on BootBarn.com while supplies last, combines the legacy of Montana Silversmiths with the fresh, contemporary style of Ian Munsick.

Fans and fashion-enthusiasts who can’t get their hands on the collection for this initial launch will look forward to the nationwide launch in July in top Boot Barn stores as well as BootBarn.com, with more exciting events and activations on the horizon.

Ian Munsick & Flatland Cavalry’s Cleto Cordero Team Up for “God Bless The West,” Out Now

March 22, 2025

When Ian Munsick moved to Nashville in pursuit of music more than 10 years ago, the Wyoming native was leaving behind more than just his home; he was walking away from a natural landscape whose ethereal beauty inspires him creatively like no other. Now, Munsick is sharing a wistful love letter to the West, alongside Flatland Cavalry’s Cleto Cordero, with the release of “God Bless The West,” available now.

Written by Munsick, Jeremy Spillman and Casey Beathard, and produced by Munsick, Spillman and Jared Conrad, “God Bless The West” is a longing tribute to the West, and a plea for the land to remain as wild as possible despite the demands of modern innovation.

“We all have that person and place we pray will always be there, untouched by the hands of time. That’s what the West is for me,” Munsick reflects. “Even though the people and the land are ever changing in this modern age, I hold onto the hope that the West will hold onto her rugged charm that draws us in.”

“Always been a fan of Ian’s good-vibe-energy and music so I was delighted to receive an invitation to record a song with him,” Cordero shares. “He sent me the song on a Monday night. I listened while chopping onions for a dinner recipe. I immediately replied, sending him a video of me crying (from the onions) saying how much I loved the song and was grateful for the opportunity. We ended up recording it the very next morning with him at the desk which I found truly impressive: the man can write, play, sing, dance AND engineer!? Indeed, God hath blessed the West!”

On collaborating with Cordero, Munsick adds, “From Montana to Texas and California to the Mississippi, there really is no place on God’s green earth like it. Turns out, Cleto Cordero from Flatland Cavalry feels the same. We may have grown up 1,000 miles apart, but the vastness of the West connects us… I have a feeling we aren’t the only ones.”

“God Bless The West” is the latest release off Munsick’s upcoming third studio album, Eagle Feather, due April 18 via Warner Music Nashville. With the 2023 release of his sophomore album White Buffalo, Munsick spread the Rocky Mountain gospel with his raw, untamed depiction of the American West. With Eagle Feather, Munsick expands on the concepts of the land, people, culture and stories that inspire him.

While the white buffalo represents prosperity and rebirth, the eagle feather is inspired by the native symbol representing honor, strength and wisdom, and serves as a continuation of his sophomore project by highlighting Munsick’s personal growth through life experiences and lessons learned that have shaped him into who he is.

Munsick is currently headlining his spring 2025 Horses Are Faster Tour featuring a rotating lineup of support including Colby Acuff, Avery Anna, Chayce Beckham, Bayker Blankenship, Kashus Culpepper, Hudson Westbrook and Jake Worthington. In 2024, Munsick opened on select dates of Lainey Wilson’s Country’s Cool Again Tour and supported Morgan Wallen on select dates of his record-setting One Night At A Time Tour.

Ian Munsick’s Full Circle Headlining Cheyenne Frontier Days Set, July 18, 2025

March 7, 2025

Wyoming native Ian Munsick crossed off a bucket list venue when he sold-out his Red Rocks Amphitheatre debut last June, but for the singer hailing from the Rocky Mountain region, his sights were already set on making his next dream a reality: headlining Cheyenne Frontier Days (CFD) in his home state.

After a group of fans started a Facebook page petitioning for Munsick to headline CFD in response to his Red Rocks show, the page caught the eye of Wyoming paper Cowboy State Daily, who published a story sharing the fans’ pleas. The promoters are now yielding to the demand, setting Munsick as a headliner for this year’s CFD on July 18, 2025. Tickets go on-sale Thursday, March 13 at 9 a.m. MT at CFDRodeo.com.

“The zenith of my musical ambition has always been to headline Cheyenne Frontier Days. No event symbolizes Wyoming or the west better than the Daddy of Em All,” remarks Munsick. “That’s where my music belongs because that’s where my inspiration comes from. The great honor of being the first Wyoming native to headline CFD is most definitely the highlight of my touring career and quite possibly my musical career as a whole… truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. It will be a night I will never forget.”

Munsick’s CFD headlining set will follow the April 18 release of his upcoming third studio album, Eagle Feather. Eagle Feather expands on the concepts of the land, people, culture and stories that inspire him, as depicted in his 2023 release, White Buffalo. While the white buffalo represents prosperity and rebirth, the eagle feather is inspired by the native symbol representing honor, strength and wisdom, and serves as a continuation of his sophomore project by highlighting Munsick’s personal growth through life experiences and lessons learned that have shaped him into who he is.

Produced by Munsick, Jared Conrad and Jeremy Spillman, Eagle Feather includes duets with Lainey Wilson and Flatland Cavalry lead singer Cleto Cordero, with songwriter credits by fellow singer/songwriters Caitlyn Smith and Stephen Wilson Jr. as well as two rare outside cuts in “Drink Around” and “Horses Not Hearts.”

Ian Munsick Announces 3rd Album ‘Eagle Feather,’ Due April 18, 2025

February 21, 2025

With the 2023 release of his sophomore album White Buffalo, Wyoming native Ian Munsick spread the Rocky Mountain gospel with his raw, untamed depiction of the American West. Expanding on the concepts of the land, people, culture and stories that inspire him, Munsick is readying the project’s follow-up, announcing his 20-track third studio album, Eagle Feather, due on April 18, 2025 via Warner Music Nashville.

While the white buffalo represents prosperity and rebirth, the eagle feather is inspired by the native symbol representing honor, strength and wisdom, and serves as a continuation of his sophomore project by highlighting Munsick’s personal growth through life experiences and lessons learned that have shaped him into who he is.

“Eagle Feather is a tribute to a sacred way of life. One that epitomizes the voice of country music, yet is rarely heard among the masses,” Munsick reflects on the album’s concept. “Every one of these 20 songs is rooted in true, personal experiences that have helped create the man I am today. I offer this body of work to anyone that loves the freedom that inspires our spirit when we look over a sunset on the mountain. Or the sanctity of returning to the people and places we care about the most. May you both receive and gift your Eagle Feather.”

Produced by Munsick, Jared Conrad and Jeremy Spillman, Eagle Feather features 20 tracks, including duets with Lainey Wilson and Flatland Cavalry lead singer Cleto Cordero, with songwriter credits by fellow singer/songwriters Caitlyn Smith and Stephen Wilson Jr. as well as two rare outside cuts in “Drink Around” and today’s release, “Horses Not Hearts.”

Available today and written by Andy Albert, Michael Tyler and Ben Stennis, “Horses Not Hearts” debunks the common trope that often paints cowboys as heartbreakers on the run. “All the best cowboys I know are men of character. People that you’d want as your neighbor,” Munsick observes, “but somewhere along the trail, cowboys got a reputation of being heartbreaking outlaws who run recklessly through the world. I thought it was time to set the record straight… real cowboys break horses, not hearts.”

Munsick followed the release of White Buffalo with a coinciding documentary in 2024 titled White Buffalo: Voices of the West, expanding on the album’s concept by exploring the modern-day relationship between cowboys, ranchers and Native American tribes, and how they often rely on each other to live off the land out west. The documentary received 19 awards and 14 film festival selections, and was recently named Best Documentary of 2024 by Cowboys & Indians. The Crow Tribe officially adopted Munsick last year during his sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheatre debut following his work with them on the documentary.

Munsick is currently headlining his spring 2025 Horses Are Faster Tour featuring a rotating lineup of support including Colby Acuff, Avery Anna, Chayce Beckham, Bayker Blankenship, Kashus Culpepper, Hudson Westbrook and Jake Worthington. In 2024, Munsick opened on select dates of Wilson’s Country’s Cool Again Tour and supported Morgan Wallen on select dates of his record-setting One Night At A Time Tour.

Ian Munsick Charts New Territory with 18-City Spring ‘25 ‘Horses are Faster Tour’

November 13, 2024

Wyoming native Ian Munsick, celebrated by HITS Daily Double and The New Yorker alike for putting the “western back in country,” will chart new territory in the Northeast and beyond with his 18-city Horses are Faster Tour in spring 2025. Tickets go on-sale 10 AM local time this Friday, Nov. 15 at IanMunsick.com.

Encompassing his first headlining shows in Pittsburgh, PA; Philadelphia, PA and more, Munsick will also return to the revered Texas honky tonk, Billy Bob’s Texas, in March before concluding the run at Nashville’s new concert hall, The Pinnacle, on April 17. Each stop will feature a rotating lineup of support including Colby Acuff, Chayce Beckham, Bayker Blankenship, Clay Street Unit, Kashus Culpepper, Hudson Westbrook and Jake Worthington.

“There is one thing I can always guarantee when you come to an Ian Munsick show… you will be entertained. I know how hard you work for your money and that’s why every time we hit the stage, the only goal I have is to give you your money’s worth,” Munsick shares. “The Horses Are Faster Tour will be stocked with brand new music, old songs we haven’t played in years, and of course, all the crowd favorites you NEED to hear. Rocky Mountain Fever and I are crafting an entirely different show for 2025 and I can’t wait for you to see the final result when we come to your town!”

The Horses are Faster Tour was named after Munsick’s stampeding breakthrough hit, “Horses are Faster,” released in 2017, which was certified Gold by the RIAA earlier this year; joining “Long Live Cowgirls” featuring Cody Johnson off his sophomore album White Buffalo, and “Long Haul” from his major label debut Coyote Cry.

As Munsick continues to tease new music, he most recently released “Fixin’ Me,” citing the toxic push-and-pull that often results from a relationship born on a bad habit, as one person tries to fix himself while the other remains complacent. “Fixin’ Me” was written by Munsick, Trannie Anderson and Jared Conrad, and produced by Munsick, Conrad and Jeremy Spillman. View full lyrics and credits HERE and listen HERE.

In 2024, Munsick headlined his own Boots, Buckles & Bolos Tour and The Country & WESTern Tour, while also joining reigning CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson as direct support on select dates of her Country’s Cool Again Tour.

Ian Munsick Releases Sobering “Fixin’ Me”

October 25, 2024

When Wyoming native Ian Munsick moved to Nashville ten years ago to pursue music, he noticed a recurring theme among the relationships he observed that began amid the neon signs and party culture which permeates the town. Reflecting on this, Munsick’s sobering “Fixin’ Me” cites the toxic push-and-pull that often results, as one person tries to fix bad habits while the other remains complacent. Listen to “Fixin’ Me” Below.

“There are a lot of bars in Nashville, a lot of drinking, a lot of broken love stories out there. I think that's everywhere, but especially in Nashville, alcohol really is the driver of how you meet people in the industry, and a lot of love stories happen through it,” Munsick shared in an interview with RFD-TV.

“Fixin’ Me” was written by Munsick, Trannie Anderson and Jared Conrad, and produced by Munsick, Conrad and Jeremy Spillman. View full lyrics and credits HERE.

“Nothing is more relatable than personal experience,” Munsick adds. “As a songwriter, I’ve always tried to write about what I know instead of what I think people want to hear. ‘Fixin’ Me’ is an intimate look at a relationship where one person is fixing themselves and the other is breaking because of that. When I started leaking this song to friends, most of them had experienced this same kind of relationship. It’s funny how the things we keep closest to our chest are actually the things that others relate to the most. That’s why being real and honest will always heal us in music and in life.”

Celebrated by HITS Daily Double and The New Yorker alike for putting the “western back in country,” Munsick most recently released “Western Woman,” intertwining his love of the west and respect for the women who shape it.

As he continues to tease new music, Munsick is also touring as direct support on select dates of reigning CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson’s Country’s Cool Again Tour. Munsick has a few remaining headlining shows through 2024, including his NFR kick-off at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on Dec. 6, with special guests Maggie Antone and Carson Jeffrey.

Ian Munsick Releases “Western Woman”

September 20, 2024

Much as he did with his RIAA Gold-certified single “Long Live Cowgirls” featuring Cody Johnson in 2022, Wyoming native Ian Munsick is intertwining his love of the west and respect for the women who shape it with his latest release, “Western Woman,” available now. Listen below.

“Western women are different. They have to be. Surviving the rugged landscapes of the west and the rigorous lifestyle that comes along with it is something that not everyone can do,” Munsick reflects on the song’s inspiration. “Western women are the most competent, hard working, do-it-with-a-smile people in this country. They deserve a song. We have dedications to southern girls and city girls, but how about all the wifes, mothers, daughters and sisters holding down the west? This one’s for them.”

Written by Munsick, Billy Montana and Randy Montana, “Western Woman” is backed by Charlie Worsham on the mandolin and Tim Hayes on the fiddle, creating a sound both warm and resonant, reminiscent of traditional country.

Munsick was recently honored by Exclusive Tours of the Center of the West with a screening of his documentary, White Buffalo: Voices of the West, and a special exhibit honoring his career. Featuring 11 items signifying pivotal moments, the exhibit includes his custom Manuel suit that he wore for his Grand Ole Opry debut, Red Rocks debut boots from Boot Barn, a bolo gifted to him from Morgan Wallen and more. The exhibit will be on display until January 2025. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit CenterOfTheWest.org.

Since its release in January, Voices of the West has been selected for 14 film festivals and has won 13 awards, including six Telly Awards for Best Directing, Best Editing, Best Use of Music, Best Videography & Cinematography, Best Documentary: Long Form (Above 40 minutes), DEI: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

Munsick most recently released a love song dedicated to his wife, “Caroline,” and a celebration of the simple things in life with “Good Dogs & Sad Songs.” He’s currently on the road, traveling throughout the Rocky Mountain region with his headlining Country & WESTern Tour presented by Boot Barn, with nine shows throughout the west this fall, and can be seen on select dates of Lainey Wilson’s Country’s Cool Again Tour.

Ian Munsick Honored with Museum Exhibit, ‘Voices of the West’ Screening at Center of the West

September 7, 2024

Wyoming native Ian Munsick returned to his home state this week to commemorate the opening of his curated exhibit hosted by Exclusive Tours at Center of the West. Honoring the legacy of “Buffalo Bill” Cody, known for his embodiment of the authentic Western lifestyle, Munsick also joined the museum for a screening and panel discussion on his award-winning documentary, White Buffalo: Voices of the West.

“From the very beginning of my career, Buffalo Bill Cody has been a huge inspiration in terms of his dedication of sharing authentic western culture with the world,” shares Munsick. “Having my own exhibit on display in the Buffalo Bill Center of the West is a great honor for me in that I feel like I’m following in his footsteps 150 years later. I believe that Voices of the West has been an instrumental piece of our vision to ‘bring the west to the rest’ as it showcases a piece of cowboy culture that really hasn’t been captured in any format. The Native American cowboy is a sacred secret that deserves to be recognized and appreciated, and that was our primary objective with this documentary. Screening the film at the Center of the West will be a real treat.

“The spirit of the west is just as important today as it was in the ‘Wild West’ era and it’s evermore important to share the legacy of those who continue to shape it. I’m just fortunate to help spread that message,” he adds.

The panel discussion featured Ian and Caroline Munsick alongside Rylon Bird, Director, cinematographer, owner of Valley of the Chiefs Productions and member of the Crow Nation Tribe; and Noel Two Leggins, Youth Coordinator for Big Horn College and member of the Crow Nation. Moderated by Hunter Old Elk, Assistant Curator of the Plains Indian Museum, member of Crow and Yakama Nations, the four panelists invited audience members to contribute their questions and insights, while offering a platform to recognize the integral role Native Americans have played in shaping cowboy traditions and culture.

Voices of the West spans nearly an hour, and delves into conversations with Pro Buckin’ Horse producer and entrepreneur from the Blackfoot Tribe, Dougie Hall; rancher, horse trainer and actor from the Crow Tribe, Stephen Yellowtail; cowgirl from the Blackfeet Nation, Sammy Jo Bird; and Munsick as the four explore the modern-day relationship between cowboys, ranchers and Native American tribes – and how they often rely on each other to live off the land out west.

Since its release in January, Voices of the West has been selected for eight film festivals and has won nine awards, including six Telly Awards for Best Directing, Best Editing, Best Use of Music, Best Videography & Cinematography, Best Documentary: Long Form (Above 40 minutes), DEI: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

Voices of the West is available to stream now on Apple iTunes, Apple, Google Play, Kanopy (Libraries), Microsoft, Vudu, YouTube Rentals and Amazon TVOD.

To complement the documentary screening, the Center of the West recently opened a special exhibit honoring Munsick, featuring 11 items signifying pivotal career moments. Items on display include his custom Manuel suit that he wore for his Grand Ole Opry debut, Red Rocks debut boots from Boot Barn, a bolo gifted to him from Morgan Wallen and more.

Ian Munsick’s “Caroline” Out Now + Surprise-Drops “Good Dogs & Sad Songs”

August 10, 2024

Ahead of the release of his sophomore album White Buffalo last year, Wyoming native Ian Munsick shared with Music Row the inspiration his wife and son have had on his songwriting, stating “Caroline and Crawford are in all of these songs. It’s just more blatant in some than others.” With “More Than Me” tipping its hat to Caroline’s faith, and songs “Dig” and “Ranch Hand” serving as a testament to their love story, Munsick now interweaves these influences for his most direct tribute yet.

“Talk about pressure… naming a song after your wife is as high stakes as it gets as a songwriter. Releasing that song is about as high stakes as it gets as a husband,” Munsick shares with a laugh. “Luckily, it’s one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written and even more importantly, it’s one of my wife’s. Every line is the truth and is seven years in the making. I took my time on it because God took His time on Caroline.”

“Caroline” is available everywhere now, listen HERE. Named after his wife, “Caroline” was written by Munsick alongside Jeremy Spillman and Phil O’Donnell.

In addition to the release of “Caroline,” Munsick surprise-dropped “Good Dogs & Sad Songs” as he continues to play more-and-more new live music on the road.

“Earlier this year, I sat down to write with the brilliant minds that helped create ‘Leather,’ my first cut as a songwriter (thanks CoJo). I had been looking forward to cooking up another one with this combo for a while,” Munsick reflects on the writing process with co-writers Jeremy Spillman and Rivers Rutherford. “Problem was, I had no song ideas this time. We were about an hour into the session and we had some great lines/melodies but still no title to write towards. Finally, my favorite line was cast out into the room: ‘dry wood that splits good and burns all night long.’ From then on, the song wrote itself.

“That day was a funny reminder of how the simple things in life are often the most meaningful and inspiring,” he adds. “No matter how much we complicate our lives, the things that God made will always bring clarity and a sense of peace. Just like good dogs and sad songs.”

This Fall, Munsick will return to the Rocky Mountain region with his Country & WESTern Tour presented by Boot Barn, with nine shows throughout the west. Munsick is currently headlining his Boots, Buckles & Bolos Tour, and can be seen on select dates of Lainey Wilson’s Country’s Cool Again Tour this summer.

Ian Munsick Releases Haunting “Cheyenne”

June 29, 2024

Wyoming native Ian Munsick is ushering in a new chapter of music with his latest release, “Cheyenne,” a haunting love song penned and produced by Munsick and Jeremy Spillman, available now. Listen below.

“‘Cheyenne’ marks the beginning of the next chapter of my musical story,” Munsick shares. “It’s been over a year since the release of my last album White Buffalo, and through that project I’ve been led to where I am today.”

“Cheyenne” is another example of Munsick’s vow to “bring the west to the rest” and a further reinforcement of his reputation, as opined by HITS Daily Double and The New Yorker alike, for putting the “western back in country.” An ode to his home state and its renowned rodeo, Cheyenne Frontier Days – held each July – “Cheyenne” paints a portrait of a fleeting love between a man grounded in his roots and a woman as untethered as the rodeo itself.

“They say great artists reinvent themselves and that’s always my number one goal with every new project. You will always hear what inspires me creatively: family, faith, and the west. But sonically, this new music will hit different,” Munsick promises. “‘Cheyenne’ is the cornerstone of what you can expect from me as we embark on this next voyage into the western world through my eyes and ears. I hope you enjoy the ride.”

Munsick recently concluded his sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheatre headlining debut alongside friends and family on June 5. After stampeding through his 24 song set filled with surprise moments, Munsick’s family expanded by the end of the night when The Crow Tribe joined him on-stage, officially adopting him as part of their tribe.

This Fall, Munsick will return to the Rocky Mountain region with his Country & WESTern Tour presented by Boot Barn, with nine shows throughout the west. Munsick is currently headlining his Boots, Buckles & Bolos Tour, and can be seen on select dates of Lainey Wilson’s Country’s Cool Again Tour this summer.

Ian Munsick Celebrates Red Rocks Debut w/ Friends & Family + Surprise Crow Tribe Adoption

June 8, 2024

Wyoming native Ian Munsick returned to the Rocky Mountain region Wednesday, June 5 for his sold-out headlining debut at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado alongside friends and family. After stampeding through his 24 song set filled with surprise moments, Munsick’s family expanded by the end of the night when The Crow Tribe joined him on-stage, officially adopting him as part of their tribe.

“Red Rocks was the greatest night of my musical life,” muses Munsick. “The songs I create are inspired by the magic that surrounds that venue. Getting to experience that unity in real time with 10,000 people who were elevating that energy is now a core memory. This Rocky Mountain boy was in heaven for 90 minutes…so surreal and even spiritual. I can honestly say that playing Red Rocks has changed my life.”

As his signature cattle call echoed through the venue’s famed monoliths signaling show time, Munsick fittingly kickstarted the evening with an upbeat, fiddle-laden performance of “Mountain Time” off his debut album Coyote Cry.

Throughout the night, Munsick interweaved songs old and new into his set, tributing his roots with “Me Against The Mountain,” while also showcasing his growth since moving to Nashville ten years ago, with recent releases “Heartbreak King” and “Leather” – the latter of which served as the title track on Cody Johnson’s ACM nominated Album of the Year. Sprinkled into the set were surprise guest moments as fellow Wyoming native Ryan Charles joined Munsick for their viral hit “Cowboy Killer.”

Toward the end of the night, prior to performing his wistful ode to the American West, “Indian Paintbrush,” Munsick was joined on-stage by JoRee LaFrance, a member of the Crow Tribe who has a long history with the Munsick family. A former student of Ian’s father, Dave Munsick, LaFrance grew up around the Munsicks and heavily influenced Munsick’s musical journey. Due to this close tie, along with Munsick’s dedication to authentically representing the west, LaFrance surprised him on-stage by officially adopting him into the Apsáalooke/Crow Tribe.

“As Apsáalooke/Crow people, we heavily rely on our clan system, Ashaammalíaxxia/Where the Driftwood Lodges. We are a matrilineal society with currently six clans with Úuwaataasshe/Greasy Mouth being one of them,” explains LaFrance. “I am Greasy Mouth and I am a child of the Ties the Bundle clan. Greasy Mouths are known to be good hunters, their power comes from the sun, and are the same clan as Iichiikbaaliia/First Maker. I adopted Ian into my family and clan because of our longtime friendship with the Munsick family and the fact he comes from Crow Country.

“They have always shown nothing but love and respect to my twin sister and I. We have always been family. I gave Ian four gifts to welcome him into our tribe. As Apsáalooke, we take adoption very seriously; being adopted means that you are valued and truly a part of our family and community,” she adds. “Our people are his people now and nobody can question that. Crow Country loves Ian and we want him to know that we will always welcome him home.”

Concluding the evening with the band that inspired his career, Munsick was joined by The Munsick Boys comprised of his father, Dave, and brothers, Tris and Sam, for a performance of one of his first recordings, a cover of Wade Montgomery's “Weakness.”

Munsick’s Red Rocks debut precedes his upcoming Fall Country & WESTern Tour presented by Boot Barn, which will deliver the man celebrated by HITS Daily Double and The New Yorker alike for putting the “western back in country” back to his roots with nine shows throughout the west. Munsick is currently headlining his Boots, Buckles & Bolos Tour, and can be seen on select dates of Lainey Wilson’s Country’s Cool Again Tour this summer.

Ian Munsick’s ‘Voices of the West’ Garners Award Recognition

May 10, 2024

Two Award Wins, Four Film Festival Selections & Counting

Awarded Best Feature Documentary at Angeles Film Festival
& Best Documentary at C47 Film Festival

The Tennessean noted Voices of the West is
“essential to maintain and humanize the tie to Western culture”

When Wyoming native Ian Munsick created the concept of White Buffalo for his sophomore album, it expanded far beyond simply curating another collection of songs. With the White Buffalo representing a sacred symbol for the plains tribes of North America, representing prosperity and rebirth, the album’s name saw Munsick undertaking a responsibility to represent his homeland and the people who reside there in an authentic way.

In doing so, Munsick created a documentary to compliment the project, White Buffalo: Voices of the West – casting the spotlight on friends whose stories often go unheard – which was released in January to Apple iTunes, Apple, Google Play, Kanopy (Libraries), Microsoft, Vudu, YouTube Rentals and Amazon TVOD.

Now, just shy of four months after its release, Voices of the West is an award-winning film, with two awards and four Film Festival selections to-date. Named Best Feature Documentary at Angeles Film Festival and Best Documentary at C47 Film Festival; Voices of the West was also selected to be in Arizona International Film Festival, EQUUS International Film Festival, Kansas City FilmFest International and Riverside International Film Festival.

“So much about what makes Wyoming and Montana special are the things most folks don’t know about. The mystery that surrounds that part of the country is part of what makes it so captivating,” states Munsick. “Native American culture has an enormous influence on western and cowboy culture, yet hardly ever gets the recognition it deserves. We are very proud and honored to share some of these stories in Voices of the West and, hopefully, bring more appreciation to a population that rarely gets it.”

Spanning nearly an hour, the film delves into conversations with Pro Buckin’ Horse producer and entrepreneur from the Blackfoot Tribe, Dougie Hall; rancher, horse trainer and actor from the Crow Tribe, Stephen Yellowtail; cowgirl from the Blackfeet Nation, Sammy Jo Bird; and Munsick as the four explore the modern-day relationship between cowboys, ranchers and Native American tribes – and how they often rely on each other to live off the land out west.

Hailed by HITS Daily Double and The New Yorker alike for putting the “western back in country,” Munsick released his full-length sophomore album White Buffalo in April 2023, earning accolades from Billboard, American Songwriter, People, MusicRow and more. Grammy.com remarked, “Munsick's ability to turn his Western upbringing into relatable sentiments is the epitome of what makes him special… his passion for his homeland — from the culture to the people — rings through in both the lyrics and the musicality.”

The album’s deluxe version, White Buffalo (Introduce You To God), is available now HERE.

“We’re coming home!!!

Timed to the one-year anniversary of White Buffalo, Introduce You To God is produced by Munsick and Jeremy Spillman and features five new songs, including the title track, which invites his son and listeners to join him as he introduces them to God through His greatest creation: nature. It’s this interconnection between his longing for the land and its inspiration on his lyrics that left The New Yorker proclaiming in a recent feature, “Ian Munsick puts the western back in country.”

Now, Munsick is passing the torch to the next generation, intertwining his lessons of faith to his son, accompanied by a strong connection with the outdoors, on the deluxe version, White Buffalo: Introduce You To God, out now.

“It’s hard to believe my sophomore album White Buffalo is already a year old! In honor of the anniversary, we’re releasing MORE MUSIC on the Deluxe edition, White Buffalo - Introduce You to God,” shares Munsick. “After releasing the original version of the album, I continued writing songs that thematically fit with the project, so we decided to give you five more. I couldn’t be more proud of what this album represents and I think the Deluxe version will only amplify that feeling. April 5th… day of the west!”

Munsick’s release of White Buffalo last year earned accolades from Billboard, American Songwriter, People and MusicRow with Grammy.com remarking, “Munsick's ability to turn his Western upbringing into relatable sentiments is the epitome of what makes him special… his passion for his homeland — from the culture to the people — rings through in both the lyrics and the musicality.”

Munsick’s Boots, Buckles & Bolos Tour is currently underway with upcoming shows in Little Rock, Ark.; Katy, Texas; Athens, Ga. and more.

Via Warner Music Nashville; Pre-Save HERE

Ian Munsick’s sophomore album White Buffalo captured the Wyoming-native’s witty sense of humor across its 18 tracks, encompassing such tongue-in-cheek songs as “Barn Burner” and “Cowshit In The Morning.” Now, as he prepares to release five new tracks with White Buffalo: Introduce You To God, a deluxe version of the celebrated collection due April 5, Munsick casts aside the comical word play and revels in heartbreak with the release of “Yippie-I-A,” out now.

“Cowboy ballads have always had a way of transporting me back to the sagebrush prairies of home. It’s high time I made one for myself,” declares Munsick. “In every one of them, you can hear the distant cry of the lone wanderer. But why does he cry? That’s exactly what inspired ‘Yippie-I-A’. I hope it breaks your heart like only the magic of music can.”

Written by Munsick alongside Phil O’Donnell and Carlton Anderson, and produced by Munsick and Jeremy Spillman, “Yippie-I-A” details a cowboy’s anguish and inability to cope with losing his spouse.

Munsick’s release of White Buffalo last year earned accolades from Billboard, American Songwriter, People and MusicRow with Grammy.com remarking, “Munsick's ability to turn his Western upbringing into relatable sentiments is the epitome of what makes him special… his passion for his homeland — from the culture to the people — rings through in both the lyrics and the musicality.”

Munsick kept the momentum going in 2024 with the release of White Buffalo: Voices of the West. The feature-length documentary is now available on Apple iTunes, Apple, Google Play, Kanopy (Libraries), Microsoft, Vudu, YouTube Rentals and Amazon TVOD. The Tennessean praised Voices of the West, which features conversations with members of the Blackfoot and Crow tribes as well as the Blackfeet Nation, as “essential to maintain and humanize the tie to Western culture.”

Munsick is overseas this week, performing at CMC Rocks in Willowbank, Australia. He returns stateside with his Boots, Buckles & Bolos Tour on March 23 with a show in Du Quoin, IL. His headlining run continues through the spring, including a sold-out date at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre on June 5. This summer Munsick joins CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson as direct support on her Country’s Cool Again Tour.

Ian Munsick Highlights ‘Voices of the West’ in New Documentary, Available Now

January 27, 2024

When Ian Munsick moved to Nashville from Wyoming 12 years ago, he vowed to carry the influences of the West with him through Music Row. Now, Munsick is setting aside his fiddle and casting the spotlight on friends whose stories often go unheard with his documentary, White Buffalo: Voices of the West, available now on Apple iTunes, Apple, Google Play, Kanopy (Libraries), Microsoft, Vudu, YouTube Rentals and Amazon TVOD.

“Over a year of filming, editing, interviewing, planning, and capturing magic is finally ready for the world to see! I am beyond excited for you to watch ‘Voices of the West’ and experience all of the emotions that come along with it,” shares Munsick. “I hope it makes you fall in love with the west and all that it represents. Okay, stop reading this and GO WATCH!!!”

A film that The Tennessean noted is “essential to maintain and humanize the tie to Western culture,” Voices of the West features conversations with Pro Buckin’ Horse producer and entrepreneur from the Blackfoot Tribe, Dougie Hall; rancher, horse trainer and actor from the Crow Tribe, Stephen Yellowtail; and cowgirl from the Blackfeet Nation, Sammy Jo Bird.

The documentary compliments Munsick’s sophomore album White Buffalo – the concept of which was inspired by the sacred symbol for the plains tribes of Native America, where the return of the white buffalo is believed to bring prosperity and rebirth. Both the album and documentary serve as an important recognition of the modern-day relationship between cowboys, ranchers and Native American tribes, and how they often rely on each other to live off the land out west.

Munsick first premiered the documentary to an intimate crowd of 150 attendees on Wednesday, Dec. 6 at the Beverly Theater in Las Vegas during NFR. Following the screening, the cast was joined by Cam Mackey, director/cinematographer from the Tohono O'Odham Nation and executive producer Caroline Munsick, for a panel discussion moderated by film, television actor and enrolled member of the Lakota Nations, Mo Brings Plenty. The 30-minute conversation highlighted the importance of sharing Native and Western experiences from those who live them in order to shed an authentic light on the culture.

The event was sponsored by Wrangler; Boot Barn; Musket Powder Seasoning; Big Horn Bison Ranch; Southern Recipe Small Batch Pork Rinds; Sheridan Travel & Tourism; Montana Silversmiths; Lone River Beverage Company, and Pendleton Whisky.

Munsick released White Buffalo earlier this year, earning accolades from Billboard, American Songwriter, People, MusicRow and more. Grammy.com remarked, “Munsick's ability to turn his Western upbringing into relatable sentiments is the epitome of what makes him special… his passion for his homeland — from the culture to the people — rings through in both the lyrics and the musicality.”

Ian Munsick’s ‘White Buffalo: Voices of the West’ Available On Demand Beginning Jan. 26

January 22, 2024

Known for his ability to transport people to the west by way of his sawing fiddle and coyote cries, Wyoming native Ian Munsick’s sophomore album White Buffalo painted a vivid lyrical picture of his homeland and its unique cast of characters.

The documentary will initially be available on Apple iTunes, Apple, Google Play, Kanopy (Libraries), Microsoft, Vudu, YouTube Rentals and Amazon TVOD. After 60-90 days, it will become available on Freevee, The Roku Channel and Tubi.

“Some of the best kept secrets are out there, thriving, where the prairie meets the mountains,” Munsick reflects. “I was lucky enough to be born and raised in the heart of cowboy country, mostly untouched by the outside world. It’s a culture where Cowboys and Native Americans are one in the same. I’ve always wanted to use my platform to help shed light on what’s been hidden for decades, and Voices of the West was a great way to convey an important message, while artistically collaborating with a people who rarely get the opportunity to have their voices heard.”

Spanning nearly an hour, the film expands on the concept of Munsick's sophomore album White Buffalo, with the white buffalo representing a sacred symbol for the plains tribes of Native America, its return signaling prosperity and rebirth. Delving into conversations with Pro Buckin’ Horse producer and entrepreneur from the Blackfoot Tribe, Dougie Hall; rancher, horse trainer and actor from the Crow Tribe, Stephen Yellowtail; and cowgirl from the Blackfeet Nation, Sammy Jo Bird; Munsick explores the modern-day relationship between cowboys, ranchers and Native American tribes, and how they often rely on each other to live off the land out west.
