Ellwood's Coffee/ Lewis Ginter

Happy Lucky plays twice this week. Saturday evening, July 3, from 8 - 10pm we perform @ Ellwoods Coffee with our friend Khalima. She puts on a great oriental dance floor show!

Remember Ellwood's doesn't serve just coffee but wine, beer and food too. Click HERE for menu.

On Sunday July 4th we will be @ Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens from 1:30 - 3:30pm. The Fourth of July event is from 1-4pm and admission to the garden is free. We play down near the water park and the tree house, so you might want to bring a swim suit.

The Crossroadster and Happy Lucky are taking a break from the Forest Hill Market for a week or two.

Happy Lucky will be back at The Forest Hill Market Saturday June 19, from 10 - 12 noon. Look for us at the Crossroadster (photo right). Karen Sokohl (above) will come by and play a couple of tunes with us at 11. She is an accordion student and needs some experience playing in public. We'll be there to catch you if you fall Karen!

Great show with Khalima (photo right) at The Republic last week. For some video that Doug Hayes shot, click HERE. She will be dancing with us at Ellwoods Coffee July 3rd, 8 - 10 PM.

The Happy Lucky Combo will be back @ The Crossroadster in the Forest Hill Park Market this Saturday from 10 am till noon. We are under a tent where you can enjoy Kirsten's (above) homemade cinnimon buns and coffee from the Crossroadster (photo right). Kirsten and Ted also serve yummy vegetarian gyros and the Crossroadster has all kinds of drinks.

Also at 11 am we are expecting a visit from belly dancer Khalima (photo right). We'll do a number with her to get ready for our up coming show at The Republic June13.

We will also have our new CD available.

Conviviality!

The Happy Lucky Combo will be making merry again at the Crossroadster Cafe on Saturday, May 30, from 10:00 am till noon at the Forest Hill Park Market.

To quote Style reviewer Deveron Timberlake "two thirds of the Happy Lucky Combo held forth on accordion and drums...setting a convivial tone."

This week Dave will join us on bass. And there is talk of Carter coming by for some double bass fun. If Carter comes by you'll get to hear some of Dave's ukulele playing!

So come on by for some coffee, food and scrumptious cinnamon buns made by Kirsten Perkinson. There is a canopy, chairs, tables and of course, conviviality!
