The Academy of Country Music welcomed Warner Music Nashville singer-songwriter Ian Munsick to the Red Barrel Lounge stage at the Academy’s new headquarters in Nashville’s Wedgewood Houston neighborhood on Monday (3/20). Munsick played several songs off his forthcoming album White Buffalo, which is scheduled for a 4/7 release. The project serves as the follow-up to Munsick's 2020 debut, Coyote Cry. Pre-orders are available here.
