The Lucky Ones

Dubbed, “Yukon’s country heroes” by CBC radio, The Lucky Ones' unique brand of country-roots music imparts traditional arrangements with a contemporary disposition. Since releasing their self-titled debut album in 2021, The Lucky Ones have quickly come to be regarded as one of Canada’s finest roots music ensembles. Following in the footsteps of Northern country troubadours such as Hank Karr, Buddy Tabor, Al Oster, and Joe Loutchan, The Lucky Ones music and storytelling invites the audience into the hard-lived lives and rugged landscape of Canada's last frontier. The band’s most recent release, A Nickel for the Fiddler (2024), was recorded live-off the floor at Ganaraska Recording Company with JUNO Award-winning musician and producer, Steve Merriner (Monkey Junk/Colin James), and Jim Bowskill (Blue Rodeo/The Sheepdogs), the album is authentic, honest, no-frills, hillbilly injected bluegrass with some country swing sprinkled in for flavour. With features in No Depression, The Bluegrass Situation, CBC, BBC, as well as consecutive official showcase performances at BreakOut West and recently at UK Americana Music Week in London, UK, A Nickel for the Fiddler, has received wide acclaim throughout Canada, United States, and abroad.
