Lucky Losers will swing into town from San Francisco stopping at the Coeur d'Alene Park to be a part of the Browne's Addition Summer Concerts this week.

Winners of 5 Independent Blues Awards in 2021, The Lucky Losers are San Francisco’s finest male/female duet fronted band — a throwback to the hybrid of soul, blues, rock, gospel, and country that emerged in the late 1960’s with impassioned vocal performances, electrifying musical interplay, and powerful harmonica.

Since 2015, The Lucky Losers have completed numerous national tours, performing on stages in over 42 states. Their artistic achievements have garnered 15 award nominations.The Lucky Losers, fronted by Phil Berkowitz and Cathy Lemons, are a 6-piece touring ensemble comprised of veteran roots musicians from the Bay Area.

The keyboard player, Chris Burns, has played and toured with many blues music luminaries such as Joe Louis Walker, Maria Muldaur & Little Milton…just to name few.
In addition to Chris, Simon Govan Smith will be playing guitar. Simon is a seasoned player, originally from Australia, whom as a young man, worked as an A&R representative for Warner Music Group and was responsible for signing the band, INXS.

The band is rounded out by a strong rhythm section consisting of Edgar San Gabriel, another Bay Area music veteran who has toured the world with a wide array of artists; And Myles Silveira, a gifted young drummer who has been studying the technique of legendary Chicago Chess Records drummers like Fred Below and Sam Lay since the age of 10.
