Gus Munro is one of the most exciting live solo acts in Scotland’s current and thriving music scene.  The singer-songwriter effortlessly combines a variety of musical genres, underpinned by his musicianship and  imaginative lyrics.  He has combined his love of Scottish traditional music and his passion for the blues, creating a genre described as Scottish-Folk-Blues.  His songwriting manages to retain the feel and emotional expression of the deep-rooted blues, while pushing through his Scottish roots in a modern context.   He fills the stage with an all-encompassing wall of sound, incorporating kick drum, hi hats, guitar and harmonica.  

The emotional depth of his voice often displays a real sense of vulnerability. He is an artist who is not afraid to show his emotions and convey them through his music.  His singing and songwriting are complemented by his imaginative and melodic slide guitar work, which adds to the emotional impact of his live performance. A genuine warm and engaging performer, Gus will draw you into his world and compel you to listen.

BORDERS BLUES CLUB Review -  May 2024 

"It's impossible to describe the unique talent that is Gus Munro.  Gus has his own way of playing and singing that will fill you with emotion as his music touches and moves your soul. Gus Munro defies categorisation. His music, though rooted in blues, crosses all genre's and is all about connecting with his audience in the uniqueness of that one moment in time.  He has an ability to hold an audience in the palm of his hand, every one of the audience members were hanging on his every note.  We are so glad to have been able to share a moment with him at the Borders Blues Club".
