Monroe is celebrating his 55th year performing acoustic music. He plays hand-crafted Seaton guitars which are “works of art”, made of 200 year-old reclaimed wood from the bottom of Lake Superior. His rich vocals and crystal/bamboo flutes showcase his signature mellifluous sound.
Monroe has recorded 11 original albums and 8 recorded from his popular ChanhassenDT Tribute shows Moonshadow – A Cat Stevens Tribute, I Dig Peter Paul & Mary, James Taylor tunes in You’ve Got A Friend, and Gordon Lightfoot’s “If I Could Read Your Mind” with 3 Folk Legends albums which feature folk-pop favorites by John Denver, Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell, Simon & Garfunkel, Gordon Lightfoot and more.
