Surveyor, singer, music producer and restaurateur. Professionally, Vic Eugster was certainly the most versatile of the Eugster brothers. In an interview with “Neue Luzerner Zeitung”, he justified his professional resume by saying that otherwise he would have been bored.

Vic Eugster can look back on many successes: During his active musical career with his brothers Alex and Guido, Trio Eugster made their way into the hearts of the Swiss public from 1956 to 1981 with their catchy melodies and cheeky everyday stories. Thanks to Vic Eugster and his brothers, many fans still sing along to “O Läck du mir,” “En Kaffi mit Schnaps,” or “Now mues dr Buch wäg.” Two million records were also sold confirming their success in terms of numbers.

Vic Eugster – The versatile artist

After their imaginary musical excursions and retirement party in 1981 in Dübendorf, Vic and his brothers never stopped making music. Vic also proved his versatility here and performed with Sepp Trütsch.

But Alex, Vic and Guido didn’t just entertain the Swiss public musically. From 1981 to 1984 they also hosted the legendary Swiss TV show “Iischtige Bitte” on Saturday evenings. The location for the studio show was a mock train station called “Nebenwil”, where audiences could applaud many first-rate performances by such stars as Harald Juhnke, Roy Black and Freddy Quinn.
