Lucky Peterson has been learning and playing the blues almost before he learned to walk. At the age of four he was playing the Hammond B-3 organ and by 5 he was guesting on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show.
Most of his early experience came from his exposure to many of the great Blues men who were friends of his father, James Peterson, who would come and play at James' Buffalo, NY club, "Governor's Inn". Long before the hype of today's "child Blues prodigies", Lucky was staking claim.

many of the attendees speechless. He had flown in to Ottawa at 2:00 in the morning to make this show. Along with his ass kicking original tunes, Lucky played an awsome cover of Buddy Mile's "Them Changes" and Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile". The best way to experience Lucky's talent is to get out to his show, you will not be disappointed.
