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!
