About

Eric Lugosch is a National Fingerpicking Champion who won first place at Winfield in 1984, Eric Lugosch is a staple of the Chicago music scene. He has taught at the renowned Old Town School of Folk Music, passing the torch of fingerstyle guitar secrets -- from ragtime, swing, blues, folk and jazz -- to pupils there for nearly 25 years. Giants in the fingerstyle world have sung Eric’s praises. Pat Donohue said “He has internalized The Reverend Gary Davis’ s style to the point where he can improvise within that style and still have it come out his own.” Legendary British fingerstylist Duck Baker has called him “One of the very best.” Lugosch has shared the stage with Doc Watson, Taj Mahal, John Prine, David Bromberg, Leon Redbone and others.
