Eric Lundgren
Eric is an American Guitarist hailing from the rural countryside in northern Wisconsin. Raised on classic and psychedelic rock, Eric cut his teeth sitting in with the cover bands of the area playing songs by CCR, Bob Segar, and Three Dog Night to name a few. He went on to receive a formal music education studying contemporary and jazz guitar, arranging, and composition.
He spent his postsecondary years traveling on cruise ships performing Vegas style production shows, backing guest entertainers, and playing in bands covering anything from Ballroom Dance to Modern Radio Hits. Now based in Stratford, Eric has enjoyed building relationships with the many talented musicians in the area.
You can see him play the regular jazz nights at The Relic, live music nights at Starlight or curated performances with some of The Stratford Festival’s many talented singers, with one of his favorites being the 2023 PAL Fundraiser “Signed, Sealed, Delivered…The Hits of Motown”.
Eric is so excited for the opportunities the Flight program brings to the Stratford music community. Grab your instrument, bring your creativity, let's make some music!
