Lucky Peterson was a dynamo in the world of blues, R&B, soul, and gospel music, whose career spanned over five decades. Born as Judge Kenneth Peterson on December 13, 1964, in Buffalo, New York, he was a child prodigy who had mastered the organ by the age of five. Under the tutelage of his father, bluesman James Peterson, Lucky's immersion in the genre was both deep and early. His formidable talent caught the attention of the wider world when he was showcased on "The Tonight Show," a testament to his incredible abilities at such a tender age.

Throughout his illustrious career, Lucky Peterson navigated the landscape of American roots music with an intuitive sense of direction, blending the traditional with the contemporary in his compositions and performances. His discography is a testament to his versatility and craftsmanship, with notable releases such as "50 - Just Warming Up!", a celebratory nod to his half-century mark in life and music, and "Tribute to Jimmy Smith," where he pays homage to the legendary jazz organist, showcasing his profound respect and connection to the musical giants of the past. His live performances, notably "July 28th 2014 [Live in Marciac]," were charged with an electrifying energy that captivated audiences worldwide, further solidifying his place in the pantheon of great American musicians. Lucky Peterson's sudden passing on May 17, 2020, left a void in the music world, but his rich musical legacy continues to inspire and influence.
