Eric Lugosch
 
After 20+ years of performing, this guitarist who won a national fingerpicking championship in 1984, has two CDs you can listen to at home, his debut Making Models and the instrumental Black Key Blues. He tours across the country, but performs frequently in the Chicagoland area. One of his compositions, "Stars Up Above" is used from time to time as segue music on National Public Radio's Morning Edition. Says the Chicago Reader, "While Lugosch's voice isn't particularly strong, he masterfully exploits his prodigious finger-picking skills, embellishing his simple, flowing songs with appealing baroque flourishes that sound homey rather than flashy." Lugosch made his first European tour with the Philidelphia Boys Choir, picked up the guitar, studied voice and music at Temple University, and did his first show at 21, opening for Leon Redbone (he was "still wearing [his] Arco overalls from [his] day job at the oil refinery.") He moved to Chicago in 1988. He recently signed an international contract with the German label Acoustic Recordings to distrubte his most recent album in Europe and Japan.
