Mike Munson + Joe Westerlund

No Name Bar presents our 2026 Winter Residency Concert Series featuring Mike Munson & Friends. Mike Munson feels most at home with a guitar in his hands. Grounded in a reverence for American music traditions, his songs reflect his growth as a performer and a deep sense of place, blending blues, American primitive instrumentals, and early rock and roll.

Joe Westerlund has emerged as an intuitive improviser and composer during the last decade, scoring deep meditative practice over the course of three full-length solo records. Westerlund—a longtime student of Milford Graves—has now spent more than a quarter-century gleaning lessons from folk musicians and avant-garde icons, from close friends and challenging strangers alike. He served as the dynamic backbone of Megafaun, the North Carolina trio of sophisticated songwriting and winning charisma that he co-founded.
