About Gundo
Growing up in small town Northern Wisconsin, emerging Contemporary Country Music Artist Ethan Gunderson (Gundo) had a lot of influences to his music. In an area dominated by farmers, factory workers, and fishermen, Gundo heard plenty of traditional country music through the years. That paired with his dad’s hard rock and the hip hop of his peers built just the basis Gundo needed once he finally found the type of music he loved.
Prior to 2022, Gundo had never sang in front of anyone, but one night he was talked into singing Zach Bryan’s “Something In The Orange” at a karaoke bar in Eau Claire, and from there it was history. He was re-introduced to his guitar player Jon Kaiser, who he went to school with, and by the end of the first night together, they had written a song. By the Spring of 2024, Gundo had over a dozen songs written and in July, Gundo and Jon traveled to Columbia, Missouri to record the Chose For Life EP with producer Myles Clayborne.
Later that summer, Gundo and Jon were joined by drummer Wolfgang Zank and bassist Matt LaBine, and Gundo’s band played their first show in October to over 150 paid attendees for their EP Release in Ladysmith, WI. Since then, Gundo has played in Wyoming, Kentucky, and many venues around Wisconsin, playing with bands like Blacktop Mojo, Adelita's Way, Wayland, Otherwise, Zamtrip, and Gravel Switch.
Gundo is currently booking for the rest of 2025 and 2026 and planning to release more singles before the end of the year. The first single off that EP, titled "Twisted", was released on all platforms in February.
