Radoslav Lorkovic was born in Zagreb, Croatia in 1958 where he was exposed to music by his two grandmothers. Antonija Bujas, his maternal grandmother, sang him Croatian, Slovenian and Czech folk songs since birth. At age one he was reported to be singing back on pitch. By age three he was putting on floor shows for his grandfather and friends who would respond by showering him with coins and cheering him on. Classical music played constantly in the home due to the influence of his paternal grandmother Melita Lorkovic, an internationally renown classical pianist. After this blend of central European musical influences Radoslav moved to the United States at age six. He had a foothold on a classical music career when at age fourteen he was sidetracked by a blues scale that a friend had taught him.
After several years of experimenting with the blues and the boogie-woogie style, Lorkovic began touring with Bo Ramsey and the Sliders. Ramsey's influence drove Lorkovic deeper to the core of the blues. The music of Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters and Little Walter shifted Lorkovic's focus to the basics. Several years later Lorkovic and Ramsey joined forces with Greg Brown adding musical authenticity to his deep Iowa Roots. At this time Lorkovic was simultaneously brushing up on his classical heritage and looking south to the polyrhythmic sounds of Professor Longhair and James Booker. He had picked up Tex-Mex and Zydeco accordion as well.
In 1990 he made his solo recording debut. Five CDs later, Lorkovic currently tours the world regularly appearing at prestigious events such as the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, Prairie Home Companion, NYC's Bottom Line as well as a litany of Italian castles and Alaskan villas.
He now lives in Austin, Texas and his main gig is touring with Jimmy LaFave..

- I never tire of listening to Rad. Boogie-woogie just sets me to a dancin', but it's more than that... Rad plays an incredible spectrum of music. sparx (talk)
