Shaun Munday’s voice intertwined with his bass guitar is the background noise of life for many in the Ozarks. His rich, warm tone wraps around each word, filling every corner of the space he occupies. While he frequently performs at Vino Cellars and events in Springfield, as well as VOO Lounge in Kansas City, his music has also taken him to stages around the world. He has performed with many artists, including Lalah Hathaway, Corinne Bailey Rae, Andra Day, Mary Wilson of The Supremes, blues legend Robert Cray, Aston Barrett and The Wailers (Bob Marley’s band), country music star Collin Raye, Devon Allman, Yonrico Scott of the Royal Southern Brotherhood and the band Kansas.
