Bob Egan

For Bob Egan, it's a case of being good in order to be lucky. As a child living in the Chicago area, Egan performed in country-rock bands throughout high school and university as a way of paying tuition. In 1988, he began performing with Souled American, an odd roots rock outfit. After releasing its debut album, Fe, the band toured across the U.S. and particularly in the Chicago area. In 1994, Egan parted with his former group to join another roots rock group, Freakwater. The band's popularity spread into Europe, where Freakwater also toured in support of Old Paint. In 1996, Egan left the group and returned to Chicago where he ran his own guitar shop.
