Blues Icon Lucky Peterson at Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley in Seattle Nov. 29th
Blues icon Lucky Peterson, touring in support of his latest release You Can Always Turn Around , will be performing at Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley in Seattle for one night only on Nov 29, 2010. Band members are soon to be announced. Showtime is 7:30pm and doors will open at 6pm. Tickets are$22.50 each.
Lucky Peterson was discovered by blues legend Willie Dixon when he was three years old, released his first
record at five and soon after appeared on The Tonight Show. Trained by keyboardists Bill Doggett and Jimmy Smith, Peterson went on to play behind Little Milton, Bobby “Blue” Bland and Kenny Neal. 
On return from the “Young Blues Giants” tour of Europe, he signed first with Alligator, then Verve, Blue Thumb and Birdology/Dreyfus, where he recorded what Amazon.com 
called “his finest album,” Black Midnight Sun, in 2003. The New Yorker called him “a master of the guitar, organ and microphone.” But his journey was not a smooth one, and Peterson spent the next few years in transition, with personal troubles preventing a proper follow-up to Black Midnight Sun.But, you can always turn around. These words took on special meaning for the 45-year-old Peterson, which is why the first album since his rehabilitation is titled You Can Always Turn Around. It is an uplifting collection of songs that speak of struggles and salvation, using the gritty clarity of acoustic roots-blues (with modern touches) as its main musical vehicle.
And when off the road, he’ll be at his church in Dallas, Texas with his family, holding on, and playing for one very lucky congregation.
