Based in San Francisc o\, their music is a throwback to the hybrid of soul\, blues\, rock\, gosp el\, and country that emerged in the late 1960’s with impassioned vocal performances\, electrifying musical interplay\, and powerful harmonica.\n\ nTheir latest album Godless Land was produced by Kid Andersen and on the Vizztone label. The album features 10 originals &\; two tasteful cover s. Lemons &\; Berkowitz exchange leads\, harmonize\, and entertain with some humorous duets - all punctuated by Berkowitz’s imaginative harmoni ca riffs.  From the soul rocker opener Half A Nothing where Lemons forc efully takes lead to the lively duets of Catch Desire By The Tail and a 1920’s rag-time cover\, What Makes You Act Like That\, to the compellin g original\, Godless Land\, which made the Finalist category in the presti gious International Songwriting Competition in 2020\, this is a remarkable album.\n\nSince 2015\, The Lucky Losers have completed numerous national tours\, performing on stages in over 42 states. Their artistic achievement s have garnered 6 international award wins\, 20 award nominations\, &\; two International Songwriting Competition prizes as Finalists.\n\n \; \n\nPress Quotes: \n\n“The soulful power of the songs takes hold on the opening track and doesn’t let up until the last groove of the album…. ‘Godless Land’ showcases the lyrical and musical versatility of Lemon s &\; Berkowitz while offering a richly laden collection filled with mu sical gems whose many facets shine luminously.” — LIVING BLUES\, JANUA RY 2021/ Issue #270\, Vol 52\, #1\n\n \n\n“One wonders whether the fact the songs seem to linger in one’s head after listening is because the s ongs are so well-crafted\, or the performances are wonderful. Like their p revious recordings\, there are first-rate songs\, superb singing\, and ter rific playing.” — IN A BLUE MOOD\, Ron Weinstock\n\n \;\n\n“Lem ons and Berkowitz hit it old-school\, with superior musicianship\, unparal leled songwriting\, and beautiful harmonies. This is one of those recordin gs that never grows old. In the end\, this album was reminiscent of the bl ues classics…easy on the ear\, but so much more.” –REFLECTIONS IN BL UE\, Bill Wilson\n\n \;\n\nClick here for Tour Playlist on Spotify: \ n\nClick here for music on Apple Music\n\nClick here for bio\, cover ar t and high-res jpegs. \n\n \;\n\nBAND MEMBERS\n\nCathy Lemons\, vocal s\n\nPhil Berkowitz\, vocals\, harmonica\n\nJoseph Barton\, guitar (Karen Lovely\, Ben Rice)\n\nCalvin Johnson\, bass (Scott Holt\, Gina Sicilia\, A ngela =Easley\, Anthony Gomes\, Big Al and the Heavyweights\, Shaun\, Murp hy)\n\nJon Otis\, drums (Johnny Otis\, Elvin Bishop\, Solomon Burke\, Fore igner\, James Cotton\, Michael Bloomfield\, \, George Duke\, Eddie “Clea nhead” Vinson)\n\n \;\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i0.wp.com/wnyblues.org/wp-content/upload s/2022/05/The-Lucky-Losers-ofr-Brewsters-Calendar2.jpg?fit=664%2C664&ssl=1 CATEGORIES:Live Blues Music LOCATION:Sportsmen's Tavern\, 326 Amherst St\, Buffalo\, New York\, 14207\, United States GEO:42.937772;-78.891826 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=326 Amherst St\, Buffalo\, New York\, 14207\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Sportsmen's Ta vern:geo:42.937772,-78.891826 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20220313T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
