Lucky Brown & The Bucks

When songwriter, producer, conductor, recording and performing artist Joel Ricci discovered Tramp Records, a German label specializing in Deep Funk 45s, he immediately flew across the Atlantic to shake hands with the man that is counted among the German guard at the forefront of the current worldwide Deep Funk movement. Lucky Brown was born and a licensing deal was penned. Fast forward 5 years; with five international funk compilations, eight 45RPM releases, and two full length studio albums under his hat, "Deep Funk Pioneer" Lucky Brown returns with his new thing: The Bucks, an experiment with a stripped-down-to-a-4-piece, West Seattle Soul concept.

Lucky Brown's aim is to become a clearer channel for inspiration to flow to, from, and through the heart of the omniverse, and the individual. The current experience is a rhythmic journey across time and space lead by the capital 'H' Heart. After The Bucks cleanse the sonic and psychic space with an old Lucky 7 tune; "Clean Break", Lucky Brown appears to say hello to your heart again forever with a new tune written specifically for this presentation; "Been Too Long." Brown then takes gentle control and guides a collective "Space Dream" coming back to find "This World Has Changed" and finishing with the whole venue chanting the refrain from Lucky's anthem: "I Believe in Love."

The Bucks proudly employs two members of Seattle's all-original instrumental true-school psychedelic afro-funk triceratops: The Polyrhythmics
