Eric Uglum

Eric Uglum is an internationally known musician, producer and owner ofNew Wine Sound Studio in Southern California. Eric has made a career of highlighting and complementing the talents of others, whether on stage or behind the recording console of his studio. He is often content to play subtle guitar and mandolin backup or add in a stunning vocal harmony, whatever best serves the song. With the release of his 2004 solo recording Shenandoah Wind on Backcountry Records, Eric has answered the outcry of his long-time following, bringing his soulful lead singing and guitar playing to the forefront in a very moving combination of songs that together reflect some of Eric’s musical affinities. Selected by Bluegrass Now magazine as the best album of 2004 , guests on the project include Alison Krauss, Ron Block, Stuart Duncan and Rob Ikes. Eric often performs with his sons, Austin (16) and Christian (14), who are already wonderful musicians in their own right, and recently the three have recorded a project produced by Janet Beazley entitled, "The Old Road to Jerusalem". Eric describes the new CD as “very diverse,” which challenges the boys to “play like seasoned adults.” The new CD is available now and can be purchased on ericuglum.com .
