Description

I have been performing in central Florida for more than 20 years. I am a classically trained musician from one of the most respected conservatories in the world, the Manhattan School of Music. I play the classical guitar repertory as well as Flamenco, Afro-Cuban, Latin American and Jazz music. I have professional PA equipment that allows me to play large events with hundreds of attendees to very intimate gatherings such as weddings or private parties.

Because of my extensive experience in the area I also have had the good fortune to have made the acquaintance of many talented musicians in Central Florida. This means that I can meet the needs of any event calling for a guitarist with another piece such as guitar & violin, guitar & flute, guitar & oboe, guitar & jazz singer or classical singer just to name a few. Larger ensembles can be formed on demand.

I have a strong work ethic and a love for music that makes me a trustworthy and reliable performer. I will personally consult with clients at no extra charge to ensure that their event has the right music to create the mood and ambiance they desire.

Feedback

  • Eddy was an ideal performer. Not only was he excellent at his craft and a professional (on time/dressed appropriately, etc) he went above and beyond to also demonstrate he is also a man of character and values. Which in my book,ranks him very high in the short list of people i'd be honored to work with again. -- Sean D, Sarasota, FL, 3/9/2009
  • Eddy was a class act. He was responsive before the event and did a fantastic job at the event. We would definitely use again! -- Darby D, Tampa, FL, 5/2/2009
  • Awesome, very professional. Highly recommend for any gathering. Will use again. -- Michael L, Gibsonton, FL, 6/21/2008
  • Having Eddy play during our ceremony and reception was a very special touch for our guests. We got so many compliments on him and we were very pleased! He was a dream to work with and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a classical, flamenco or latin guitarist for a special event! -- Elizabeth , Jacksonville, FL, 4/10/2009
  • He was amazing. thank you -- Consuelo S, Clearwater, FL, 8/30/2008
  • He did a wonderful job. The music was amazing -- He has a wonderful talent -- Ashley S, Siesta Key, FL, 6/7/2008
  • From the very beginning, Eddy made this process easy, which was really calming right when we needed it. He pretty much was on auto-pilot, even though he had given us plenty of opportunity to make whatever specific needs known. His repertoire is really expansive, so my initial requests were easily accommodated. And Eddy thought of little things that we hadn't even considered, which made our wedding all the better. Thank you Eddy! -Frank & Maggie -- Frank S, Vero Beach, FL, 8/8/2009
  • His talent is excellent. He is experienced with weddings so he made some very good recommendation. The acoustic guitar makes for a very beatiful ceremony with out requiring alot space or equipment. -- Susan S, Tampa, FL, 4/26/2008
  • I had many many complements on his performance. Someone didn't even notice at first it was live music. they though it was a CD. His music blended sooo well with the ambiance. I had made a few request on specific styles of music and he was able to perform it beautifully. He's awesome!! Thank you Eddy. -- Nuria P, St Petersburg, FL, 11/8/2008
  • Eddy was a very gracious player. Unobtrusive and did not need pandering to. He professionally organized himself and we were very impressed as our wedding was in the back garden and it was warm on July 5th 2008. All our guests were very impressed and commented to us about how perfect the setting was for his classic`playing. We would heartily recommend him to anyone as you would not be disappointed, only delighted instead. Thank you Eddy! -- Karen O, Sarasota, FL, 7/5/2008
  • Eddy performed before and during our wedding ceremony in Winter Park. He did a fantastic job. He was flexible, versatile, and was very accomodating to the style of music I requested. He was one of the few performers we found that was willing to work with our singer for the wedding. Our soloist and Eddy talked on the phone and worked out the details of the performance. He made an extra effort to discuss the music and rehearse with her. She found him to be extremely good to work with, and a great talent. He was always available on the phone or email, to discuss details with me. I highly recommend Eddy for his talent, and for being so nice and easy to work with! -- Kristina H, Winter Park, FL, 5/25/2008
  • We very much enjoyed Eddy Lugo's music. Eddy is very talented, professional and accommodating. We received many great comments from family and friends about Eddy's artistic abilities.

  • Eddy Lugo was very professional and timely. Everyone at our ceremony and reception commented on how wonderful and talented he was. His music created a nice atmosphere and it was a perfect blend that really complimented both events. We couldn't have asked for anything better! Thanks Eddy! -- Ann C, Fort Myers, FL, 6/4/2009
  • Fabulous! He got many compliments from our guests too. -- Jaime M, Sarasota, FL, 5/9/2009
  • Eddy was such a wonderful addition to our wedding ceremony. He was very professional and patient with us as we selected our music. All of our guests raved about how talented he is and how well the music complemented our ceremony. I highly recommend using Eddy for your next special event! - Amanda, St Petersburg, FL -- Amanda G, Treasure Island, FL, 4/25/2009
  • We hired Eddy for a mid-day performance, and then later asked him if we could change the time to evening. He told us that he was unable to make the later time, but would happily recommend one of his colleagues to fill in for him. We were very happy with Eddy's willingness to accomodate us and help us when our plans changed. He was very polite and responsive to our calls and emails. -- Hoa N, Indian Rocks Beach, FL, 7/19/2008
  • Great! made our party wonderful. Highly recommended! -- Claudia M, Sarasota, FL, 5/5/2009
