6-7pm - Eric Lugosch
Eric Lugosch - no gimmicks or gadgets, just a genuinely gifted imagination and a fluency that comes from years of working on his craft. Eric’s arrangements of traditional songs and jazz standards are considered classics in picking circles, as one of America’s best original fingerstyle composers and talented songwriter. Eric has played and taught in festivals around the world including The Wirral International Guitar Festival, The Ullapool Guitar Festival, International Guitar Meeting in Sarzana, Italy, and The New York Guitar Festival. He’s had the honor of performing with greats such as Doc Watson, Taj Mahal, John Prine, and David Bromberg.
7-9pm - Mike Dowling
Grammy-winning Mike Dowling digs deep into the musical bag of American roots guitar, favoring the melodic Piedmont style of acoustic blues masters like Mississippi John Hurt and slide great Tampa Red. Bottleneck blues, vintage swing, ragtime and originals played with grace, wit, and dazzling dexterity. In the words of the UK’s FolkRoots Magazine: "Mike's singing and guitar playing are as natural as oak cask fermentation leading to a heady brew that is truly pure of spirit."
