Munk Scores With The NFL, NCAA on CBS Sports
For the past three years, I have written music for CBS Sports for the NFL, College Football and NCAA broadcasts, which are used under replays and pre-game/post-game shows. Due to the lag in ASCAP reporting (industry standard I’m afraid) I’ve just learned of more placements that occurred between October 2010 and February 2011. This brings the total count to over 50 games, including the 2010 Super Bowl Half Time Show, College Football Today and Home Depot Second on CBS.
More music for a fourth year is in the works. Stay tuned!

So you make your acquaintance starting right now, and you’ll be good and ready for the big show on Thursday night. Everybody wins! … Continue reading
Munk Duane Band Debut EP Drops 10/11/11
Inspired by the exploration of American roots music in timeless albums by legendary artists like The Rolling Stones (Exile on Main St) and U2 (The Joshua Tree) and the Country/Pop crossover success of everyone from Chet Atkins and Elvis to Jason Aldean, Munk is taking his penchant for modern pop hooks, and infusing a little bit of Country into his Rock n Roll. The result is the Munk Duane Band’s debut EP “Everywhere Is South of Somewhere” is arriving digitally on October 11th. BUY IT NOW!
Munk explains, “What are the elements that create truly timeless music? I imagine this exploration is akin to the feeling The Rolling Stones had while creating Exile On Main Street or U2 with The Joshua Tree. I’m digging deep into Country and Americana tradition and attempting to marry those “nuggets” into the pop songwriting structure of 2011, much like Chet Atkins, Elvis and Buddy Holly did in the 50’s.”
