The Lucky 5 is a hard-swinging jazz band that blends swing and gypsy jazz to create a unique, foot-stomping blend of music that appeals to a wide range of music lovers. They perform both original compositions, as well as putting a new spin on old jazz standards.
The band is comprised of highly seasoned touring musicians, having been part of The Hunger Mountain Boys, Lauren Ambrose & The Leisure Class, and traveled, performed, and recorded with artists such as Peter Gabriel, Tony Bennett, Neko Case, Iris Dement, Bobby Previte, Del McCoury, Jim Lauderdale… just to name a few.
The Lucky 5 brings verve, high energy, and an unpredictable impulse to the tradition of jazz from the 20s, 30s and 40s; grooving deeply, and keeping feet moving on the dance floor.

“The Lucky 5 are foot tappin’ feel-good music, wonderfully retro… a real crowd pleaser.” –Mike Ballon, Castle Street Cafe
“An infectiously rambunctious hot jazz ruckus…” –Dwayne Brooke, The Woodshedders
“I love these guys. Wonderful musicians, wonderful people. Very impressive!” –Alan Chartock, WAMC Radio
