Print Reviews for Three Times Lucky
Review for the 2017 Kemptville Live Music Festival, by Kristen Bell-Lalonde for Sound Check Entertainment: Published July 28:
“The final two days of Kemptville Live Music Festival were full of amazing music from greats like Burton Cummings, Bill Durst, Sue Foley, Gordon Lightfoot and Three Times Lucky. Upon my arrival at Kemptville Live on Saturday, I could hear Three Times Lucky performing for the whole walk from my car to the entrance. They had a sound that was captivating and definitely held notes of old-timey blues. This band comes from Ottawa and weren’t too far from home performing at Kemptville Live. They were very fun to listen to and seemed very comfortable up on stage. They had a strong stage-presence and were very good at drawing the audience in. This was definitely a happy act to stumble upon first.”
Review for Three Times Lucky's July appearance at 2013 Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest, written by Sandy Sharkey for Ottawa Tonite: "Ottawa band Three Times Lucky performed to a packed crowd in the Barney Danson Theatre- featuring vocalist Leslie Rohonczy and a tight band of seasoned musicians, Three Times Lucky played a fine set of upbeat blues."
Review for the 2015 Ottawa CityFolk/ Ottawa Marvest Festival, written by Ben Yung and published in The Revue:
“Three Times Lucky! Knee-slappin', toe tappin', very dance-able blues and blues rock. Sounds like a party is going to break out early at Irene’s. Better start running a tab.”
Review for the 2014 Calabogie Blues & Ribfest, published in the 101.9 Dawg FM Times-Calabogie Blues Special: Edition:
" Saturday's line-up featured some of Canada's top blues artist such as Three Times Lucky, Ben Racine, Soulstack and Steve Hill. The crowds continued to grow through the night in anticipation of headliner Colin James."
Review for Three Times Lucky’s first album, 'Mojo Off'a Muddy', by Jim Hurcomb for Bounder Magazine:
““Mojo Off'a Muddy, recorded mostly live off-the-floor, captures the sound of the band in concert. DAWG 101.9 FM jumped on the record, especially the first single, The Cliché Blues. What grabs you on the first listen is the variety of material on the record” “Three Times Lucky it is! Obviously there is a lot more than just luck. A band can have all the opportunities in the world to make it, but if the music and the attitude don’t cut it, it’s not going to happen. How Lucky can you get?”
Jim Hurcomb - Bounder Magazine Fall 2011
Lynn Saxberg’s, Ottawa Citizen, Review of the 2011 Ottawa Bluesfest for Monday, July 18th entitled, 'The Times are a-Changin’
Lynn Saxberg mentions Three Times Lucky's appearance on the Hard Rock Café stage at the Ottawa Cisco Blues Fest: “MonkeyJunk was not the only local group deserving kudos. Every Ottawa-area act I saw pulled out all the stops for Bluesfest. Standouts included Silver Creek, Brock Zeman, Autumn's Canon, Prescott, My Favourite Tragedy and Three Times Lucky.”
Lynn Saxberg - Ottawa Citizen
