Lucky Peterson (born
Judge Kenneth Peterson, December 13, 1964, Buffalo, New York
is an American musician who plays contemporary blues, fusing soul, R&B, gospel and rock and roll. He plays guitar and keyboards. Music journalist Tony Russell, in his book
The Blues - From Robert Johnson to Robert Cray has said, "he may be the only blues musician to have had national television exposure in short pants.
Lucky Peterson played his first gig at age three. By the time he was
five, he had already recorded his first single, produced by none other
than the legendary Willie Dixon. Before Lucky turned six, his career had
been propelled into the national spotlight with television appearances
on
The Ed Sullivan Show,
The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and even
What’s My Line?
As a child prodigy, Lucky was somewhat of a novelty act. Now he is a
true blues veteran. Over the last three decades, Lucky has played to
audiences all over the world, dazzling both fans and critics with his
multi-instrumental talents (he plays keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and
trumpet), his soulful vocal style and his youthful approach to the
blues.
Chicago’s
Reader raved, "His musicianship is unassailable…a
combination of sleek-handed dexterity and imagination…a happy marriage
of blues authenticity and foot-pleasing danceability. This is a young
musician of unlimited enthusiasm and nearly unlimited potential having
the time of his life and excelling at every stop along the way."
Born Judge Kenneth Peterson in 1963, Lucky was raised on music in his
hometown of Buffalo, New York, His father, James Peterson, was a blues
singer and owner of the Governor’s Inn, a northern version of a Deep
South "chitlin’ circuit" roadhouse club. Artists like Buddy Guy, Junior
Wells, Muddy Waters and Koko Taylor played there regularly. Virtually
growing up on stage, little Lucky began playing almost before he began
talking.
