Biography

David “Jumper” Munyon (born 19 August 1952 in Newport, Rhode Island ) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist.

From his adolescence in the Deep South to the coffeehouse circuit of early `70s LA, to Nashville and beyond, Munyon`s life has been a musical odyssey of truly Homeric proportions. David Munyon brought up in Alabama and Georgia, as the son of a Navy officer. He was traveling from airfield-base to airfield-base. David said about it “sometimes I feel like I spent my whole childhood either packing or unpacking.” Back in his country, disillusioned from the Vietnam War, with a Vietnam trauma and a serious alcohol problem, he grabbed his guitar and did that what’s in his blood namely, traveling and creating beautiful songs. David Munyon`s musical aspirations drew him to Los Angeles

After a long musical journey Munyon did get the attention of the Hicks Brothers are two pleasant hard working guys from Sacramento, California. The Hicks Brothers put together their last dollars, to realize the release of David’s debut album called “Code Name: Jumper”. Bruce Hicks about that time “it has been a long hard struggle at that time Glitterhouse Records did really good job keeping Munyon going.” The Hicks brothers believed in David’s music, yes these things really exist. Friend and producer Greg Humphrey was involved, he used his contacts to put a band together. Warren Haynes (Allman Brothers, Gov´t Mule), Matt Rollings (Lyle Lovett), Leland Sklar (Jackson Browne, CSN&Y), Sneaky Pete
