Lucky 5`s story so far:
The story of Lucky 5 began when two roots men, guitarist Teemu Ojapalo and harmonica player Mikko Laapio started to jam together in 2001/2002. Soon they invited Mika Jokinen, ex guitarist and singer of Francine, to play some music with them. Session was recorded and the sound was promising.A little bit later Kalle Kotiranta, the drummer of Goofy & The Gamblers and Ronnie & His Twanging Little Fellow, was asked to join them. Late in the summer of 2004 Lucky 5 was born.
The group played for a while with different bass players, until Marjo Leppä filled the position.
At the moment Tommi Halmesaari is handling the bass.
The basic sound of Lucky 5 comes from the 50´s, but it´s far more than just basic when you here it. From the material now, 2/3 is written by M. Laapio.
With Lucky 5 you can enjoy from good Rock´n´Roll, straight up Rhythm´n´Blues and from the pure joy of music!
